User Needs - with links to relevant User Need document sectionAuthor / Browser / OS (A, B, O)
What can authors do to not interfere with these needs?		WCAG 2.1

Proximity of Related Information: Users know about and can find related information.AxPerhaps a joint COGA - LVTF SC. when page reflows related information is separated. Need to find examples in the wild. How to keep programatically associated information in close proximity when page is zoomed, or viewport changes size.example: large input control (50 characters) label of 'Name' on left edge. 'Required' is aligned on the right. huge amount of white space between. if using screen magnifier info on right is lost. If attention not directed to the right... info is easy to miss. (was in the US gov style guide. it has since been corrected.)mobile could provide use case. missed relationships. None responsive sites are an issue.

Justification: Users can change the justification / alignment (left, right, full/both, centered) of blocks of text.B - user CSS, possible UI settingx @@Laura I suspect that a justification / alignment SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.
JF thinks it would be easy to add "don't use full justification" as an SC for authors.We have the research to back this up. tho may need exception for legal or other documents where full justification is required.
SLH: Mostly covered by SC 1.4.8 & F88 (but some additional guidance in https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Supplemental_Guidance:_Text_Justification		mobile use case: with full justification user may have to go all the way to the right edge of the screen to read content. with left justification you don't necessarily have to go all the way to the edge so it makes more information viewable on the left edge so there's actually more content viewable on the screen at any time for users in general. But of course that's assuming that it doesn't reflow. That mitigates that issue for mobile users (JonA)

Visual affordance - focus and controls,
functional affordance		xperhaps split 1.4.11 into UI and graphics. Focus on requirements for accessible visual affordance of user interface User Interface Component Contrast (Minimum). States are critical. Detlev - functional state (visited/unvisitied) transitional/transactional (checked/unchecked). component should maintain contrast between states. adjacent color applies to current state at current moment (not across states). different states do not need to contrast with each other. visited and non-visited are not adjacent so not covered. So only the visited and non-visited states as they stand on their own are covered. check in the checkbox is a graphical object - you have to be able to see the check.
Also,
-- If a table cell contains only a link, then the whole cell should be the target and not just the text (inspired by the article John shared above).
-- Put associated labels adjacent to controls unless it is essential they be elsewhere for greater clarity.
-- For tabs, make sure the clickable area is the entire tab, not just the text.
-- Let me click the entire accordion header and not a tiny button off to the side.		can't use tab to move to actionable elements. can't use external css to highlight actionable elements. related to "indication of Gestures" in mobile

Page Refresh - an aspect of Point of Regard. When new information is added to a page [content update/injection or page refresh] maintain focus at current location (do not move focus to top page as it disorients user and workflow).xThis seems more of a failure technique for 2.2.4 - interrupting workflow on a page. examples include table sort, form injectionrelated to mobile "focus management"
context (full page) vs non-context (part of page) refresh. what is best practice for each scenario? Need user stories.
6
Brightness: Users can set the overall brightness of a display.B - media players
O - brightness setting		X
7
Contrast: Users can set the background color and the text color from the full color spectrum.B - override forground/background in browser settings. User CSS.
O - forground/background color of application		1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast
1.4.8 Visual Presentation		X@@Jim - Exception for browser default.
8
Point of Regard: The point of regard remains visible within the viewport when the viewport is resized, when content is zoomed or scaled, or when content formatting is changed.BX
9
User Settings: Content picks up all relevant user settings, such as ... [Draft Note: The Task Force plans to add additional information here.]B - possible UI setting. Should inherit OS settingsX@@Laura I suspect that a user settings SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.

[RESOLUTION: add User Need: Users can see and operate all interface elements that are intended for users to see and operate. This includes when users have changed display settings such as text size, magnification, and cursor. (9 March 2016)]X@@Laura LVTF pushed the title attribute/tooltip obscured under the screen magnifier's large cursor issue to Silver.
Resources:
Use Case: TAGLINE: Difficulty reading tooltips for icons, which are obscured under the screen magnifier's large cursor Wiki page with title attribute evidence (28 November 2016)
Email: Obscuring active elements and text email User need 7.1 Seeing All Interface Elements (Draft Note: Possible figure to be added: hover hand obscures important tooltip text)

Color: Color is not the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.1.4.1 Use of Color
12
Rewrap: Blocks of text rewrap so that only one direction of scrolling is needed, e.g., for left-right and right-left scripts (languages), usually vertical scrolling and not horizontal scrolling.1.4.10 Reflow
13
Reflow: Users can set blocks of text in one continuous block, instead of in multiple columns.1.4.10 Reflow
14
Line Length: Users can set the line length for blocks of text. Often the easiest way to do this (for developers, designers, and users) is for users to resize text areas and the text rewraps to change the line length.1.4.10 Reflow
15
Hyphenation: Users can turn hyphenation on or off.B - user CSS, possible UI setting@@Laura I suspect that a hyphenation SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.
16
Text Size: Users can change the text size (font size) of all text, without zooming the entire interface.@@Jim - zoom is adequate for text and text in vector images. There are issues with raster images. Also, Huge issues with Tooltips.
17
Font: Users can change the font face (also called font family or typeface) of all text, choosing from a wide range of fonts including sans serif and serif fonts.B - user CSS, possible UI setting@@Laura I suspect that a font SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.

24
Margins and Borders: Users can change the margins (blank space) and borders (including color, width, style) around blocks of text.B - user CSS, possible UI setting@@Laura I suspect that a margins /borders SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.
25
Spacing Between Elements: Spacing groups related elements and separates less related elements.1.4.12 Text Spacing
26
Element-level Customization: Users can customize text differently for specific elements, such as headings, lists, paragraphs, links, <strong>, <em>, <cite>, etc.
Users can set at least:
Text size Text color and background color Font Text style (that is, turn on or off underline, italic, bold) Line spacing Margins Borders — including border line color, width, style		B - user CSS@@Jim some covered in 1.4.12.

O		@@Laura I suspect that an all interface elements SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.

Printing: Users can print content after customizing how the text is displayed.B - user CSS, possible UI setting@@Laura I suspect that a printing SC would not be accepted in 2.2 and would be pushed to Silver.
