Re: 30 Jan 2007 Team B Meeting

The text scaling How To Meet pages look great, except that I think it lacks a
rational behind the 200% measurement - I do think this will be commented and
queried.  Forgive me if this has already been explained and I am not "getting"
it but why not 175% or 190%?  On what information did we base 200% - if
designers are having problems maintaining their design with font resized to
200% but not 180% they should have some basis/motivation for going for 200% not
just because the WCAG picked 200%.
Also, does 200% mean double? So, is that double the height and width of the
font? I hate to be the devils advocate but someone is going to ask in the next
round of comments, what if someone starts off with a really small font and
scales it up 200% - it still may not be accessible...
