Technologies are markup languages or data formats. If the technology is a markup language, “features” refers to elements and attributes.

Feature: a

.
Technical specification: The A element .
This test case is intended to fail because the mechanism to differentiate the link from the body text relies on colour only.
Accessibility expert.
“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 29, column 115: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/Overview.html#visual-audio-contrast-without-color.
The link is not underlined.
The style defined for links removes the underlining. So the only cue to differentiate the link from the body text is the colour.
This test case maps to failure F73: Failure of SC 1.4.1 due to creating links that are not visually evident without color vision.
