"Maximum text contrast" requirement removed from WCAG 3.0 draft, leaving #FFF text on #000 background a valid contrast ratio, but not accessible for many users.

    What specifically makes #FFF on #000 not accessible? Is there a way to alter other styling parameters to make it accessible?

      I'm guessing some alternative meaning of accessible is intended...
