You've made me think: it would be very useful to have a list of common
fails matched up to the SC that they fail against. Does such a thing
exist?

If, for example, a designer spotted that a form contained a textbox
that was linked visually with an adjacent icon (say amagnifying
glass), but there was no text label, being able to click on the
failing SC would lead them to a resource describing best practice
solutions. I guess an FAQ type scenario would work well here.

If anything like this exists, perhaps someone could point me to it. If
not, I'm going to start putting something together.

Cheers, Isabel
