WCAG "Next"
summary
Proposes concrete WCAG Next changes: update cadence to every two years with task forces publishing notes and prefers a date-driven cross-taskforce rollout (option 2.2). Recommends moving color contrast, focus indicator and headings to level A, banning autoplay audio and adding clear audio controls, and allowing live captions via speech recognition; argues captions should be in the target audience language not just the source language. Japanese-specific fixes: require visible required-field labels, keep error messages in the same viewport, and auto-convert fullwidth/halfwidth input to avoid form errors.
