Re: [csswg-drafts] [mediaqueries-5] high-contrast media feature

> I am not quite sure how your proposal answers the questions/concerns raised above it

I’m not answering them and I know this is not an easy topic. :) I just felt this thread lacked input from authors about common design requirements and the client-side workarounds we use today (accessibility preferences that users have to find and enable on every site).

> leading to a doubling down on contrast potentially too far the other way?

If a site switches to e.g. black text on white background on `prefers-high-contrast`, or shows black-on-white diagrams instead of diagrams with more subtle colors, I don’t think the OS contrast rendering pass would make it worse.

It might be an issue if authors use this preference hint to add `body { filter: contrast(2); }` or something similarly indiscriminate.
