Hi all,

I'm wondering, for keyboard issues that do not fail WCAG 2.0 but are nevert=
heless accessibility barriers, should these be called out in a VPAT under C=
hapter 3? Specifically, under 302.7 With Limited Manipulation?

For example, Where you have an index, Table of Contents, or carousel that c=
ontains hundreds of links that you would need to TAB through to get to the =
following content. This doesn't fail any WCAG 2.0 SC (as far as I can see) =
but it is a major barrier for keyboard users. Does it therefore contravene =
Section 508 302.7 With Limited Manipulation which says: "Where a manual mod=
e of operation is provided, ICT shall provide at least one mode of operatio=
n that does not require fine motor control or operation of more than one co=
ntrol at the same time."? That seems to be a catch-all clause requiring acc=
essibility for non-mouse users.

All opinions welcome.
