This used to be a success criterion under WCAG 1.0. I suspect it is not now=
 because CSS is considered to be an accessibility supported technology.
Those who work on UK public sector websites may be interested to know that =
the Government Digital Service (GDS) mandate that websites must be usable w=
ithout either CSS or JavaScript. This applies to all central government dep=
artments and any other public sector organisations that adopt the GDS Servi=
ce Standard.

Subject: Suggestion for WCAG 2.2: disabling styles


Hello.

The success criterion 1.4.10 Reflow establishes: Content can be presented w=
ithout loss of information or functionality, and without requiring scrollin=
g in two dimensions for: vertical scrolling content at a width equivalent t=
o 320 CSS pixels<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-css-pixels>; horizontal =
scrolling content at a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels<https://www.w3.o=
rg/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-css-pixels>.
Why not also include in this criterion or in a new one that content can be =
presented without loss of information or functionality disabling all styles=
?

Regards

Jos=E9 R. Hilera
