Hi Patrick -

Nothing has been decided yet.  There may end up being a view in the Quick Reference to see all things related to mobile.

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?
