The main point of keeping 2.4.7 as is but moving it to A is so that it doesn't look odd from a structural point of view if WCAG has two SCs that essentially cover the same thing, with the new one being more precise/stricter. The intent isn't to make it now apply to more sites that only test up to A, but rather not to have developers wondering why there's two AAs that overlap so much. > Content that has focus visible today under WCAG 2.0(AA) will not > pass a modified SC text if the page is re-evaluated because of content > changes. However, that is in line with the idea of backwards compatibility in WCAG 2.1 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#requirements-for-wcag-2-1 On a general note, the problem with "focus visible" has always been that it does not normatively define what "visible" actually means, making it one enormous loophole P -- Patrick H.
