essential: the visible pixels of the test target contain text for which its presentation is essential; or
I think this is a problem. The definition of Essential from WCAG is fairly ambiguous I believe. I therefor don't think we're allowed to use it in the expectation. This seems to be the only rule for that currently uses it. Other rules that use it all have this in its assumption, where this restriction does not apply.
One possible solution could be to create a new definition that explicitly lists all known cases of when images of text are "essential". Maybe call it "essential images of text" or something. That leaves far less room for interpretation.
