I’ve updated the Theme Review guidelines for Accessibility again. This update takes into a consideration a number of suggestions and questions from Chip Bennett regarding the understanding of issues and how to resolve them.
Among the changes:
- Images now state that decorative images must be included with CSS.
- Headings explicitly states that post and widget titles must be wrapped in headings, to draw the ‘reasonable headings’ guidelines into a context explicitly relevant to WordPress structure as defined by a theme.
- Link text provides specific techniques for accomplishing the goal.
- Keyboard navigation provides guidance on testing and specific mention of one of the most common failures for dropdown menus.
- Contrast references tools for testing.
- Skip links defines a conforming skip link.
- Forms defines specific changes that can be made to defaults that would break accessibility.
Your comments are welcome.
