There are a number of accessibility considerations of which implementors

should be aware when processing data described in this specification.

As with any implementation of web standards or protocols, ignoring
2566+
accessibility issues will make this information unusable to a large

subset of the population. It is important to follow accessiblity

guidelines and standards such as [[WCAG21]] to ensure that all people,
