Development is the easy part - there are several ways this could be implemented such as to be fully WCAG conformant. The difficulty we have as testers is persuading the developers and other stakeholders that it is non-conformant and needs to be changed.

Unsurprisingly, they don't want to spend time and money changing anything, so they challenge us to show that it really is non-conformant. And that's perfectly reasonable - we should be able to justify our opinions. However, ambiguous specifications like WCAG mean it's possible for opposing views to appear equally plausible.
