Right, I pretty much agree with Michael.
The way I'd want it to work in the criteria, ideally, is we'd say
something like "all desktop requirements must be met for blind users
with assistive technology, e.g. screen reading" - i.e. rather than this
being a criterion exactly, we'd expect sufficient a11y support to be in
place that *all* the desktop criteria would be met for blind users. But
as Michael says, it sounds like we haven't really got things in good
enough shape yet that we'd be able to enforce such a requirement right
now, so that should be fixed first.
