I noted that in the email about WCAG.next discussions at CSUN. I'm glad 
to see some of my early rantings about this (on this list) were taken on 
board. My question now though: fundamentally, are things like SCs for 
touch or small screen still being branded/lumped into a "mobile" bucket 
/ a "mobile" specific extension, even though there's aknowledgement that 
the distinction of "mobile/tablet/phablet/desktop/laptop" is mostly 
irrelevant and that it's instead about specific technologies?
