 	<p>Thus when we talk about collaborative tools we must consider accessibility burdens imposed by their
 	concomitant complexity. In truth, collaborative tools are necessarily complex interfaces for all users, and not only persons with various disabilities. The salient point here is that a failure to design to accomodate persons with disabilities appropriately will inevitably prevent their participation in collaborative work. What constitutes challenging complexity for most users will inevitably become an insurmountable barrier for some persons with disabilities.</p>
 
-	<p>A fairly common accessibility failure is the use of arbitrary color to flag edits put forth by different collaborators. However, identifying collaborators only by colorization  violates WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.1 as described below in <a href="#version-control-changes">User Need 11</a>.</p>
