Question: Comprehensiveness of Web Accessibility Checklist

Created by: nas5w

Hi all, fantastic work on the a11yproject.com site and I look forward to the redesign!

I was browsing the Web Accessibility Checklist and noted that, while everything on it seems really sound and in accordance with WCAG guidance, there are potentially missing items. For example, one item I would expect to see is in reference to ficker/flash/blink rate of any element. In the past, I have used checklists like the webaim.org checklist.

Of course, presenting a checklist with 100 items on it could easily scare off a newcomer. So my question is: how comprehensive is the Web Accessibility Checklist intended to be? Are you open to adding more items? Some of the more important items that I think might be missing involve:

• Content linearization. You already have this in the forms section but really it applies to the entire application.
• Instructions shouldn't depend on visual or audio. E.g., "click on the square to continue."
• Color is not the only visual means of conveying information. E.g., Red shouldn't mean "danger" without some accompanying text.
• Pause Stop Hide and Three flashes or below
• Images of text. If text can convey the text in an image, consider just using the text.
• No parsing errors

Thank you!
