WCAG versioning (what's new for 2.2)?

Question 1

Which success criteria is now obsolete and removed from WCAG 2.2?

Answer 1

4.1.1 Parsing

Question 2

Why is success criteria 4.1.1: parsing now obsolete?

Answer 2

This criterion was originally adopted to address problems that assistive technology had directly parsing HTML. Assistive technology no longer has any need to directly parse HTML. Consequently, these problems either no longer exist or are addressed by other criteria.

Question 3

What should you do to achieve 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (AA)?

Answer 3

Ensure when an item gets keyboard focus, it is at least partially visible.

Question 4

What is the success criteria for 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (minimum) (AA)?

Answer 4

When a user interface component receives keyboard focus, the component is not entirely hidden due to author-created content.

Note: Where content in a configurable interface can be repositioned by the user, then only the initial positions of user-movable content is considered for testing and conformance of this Success Criterion.

Note: Content opened by the user may obscure the component receiving focus. If the user can reveal the focused component without advancing the keyboard focus, the component with focus is not considered hidden due to author-created content.

Question 5

What is the success criteria for 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (enhanced) (AAA)?

Answer 5

When a user interface component receives keyboard focus, no part of the component is hidden by author-created content.

So this is “no part of the component is hidden) vs “not entirely hidden” for AA.

Question 6

What is the success criteria for 2.4.13 Focus Appearance (AAA)?

Answer 6

When the keyboard focus indicator is visible, an area of the focus indicator meets all the following:

is at least as large as the area of a 2 CSS pixel thick perimeter of the unfocused component or sub-component, and
has a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 between the same pixels in the focused and unfocused states
Exceptions:

The focus indicator is determined by the user agent and cannot be adjusted by the author, or
The focus indicator and the indicator’s background color are not modified by the author.
