Re: Should we require labels to be always visible?

> We dealt with this on SC 1.4.3 contrast on hover and focus. If I recall correctly we added this in the understanding documents and that was sufficient as it did not change what was in the SC itself as the SC just said "text" and didn't describe specific states
I think there has long been an implicit assumption that SCs apply in all states (when applicable). Maintaining that assumption and highlighting it in the understanding doc seems appropriate.
