Re: Css scroll

Hi, Lisa:

Thanks for including the APA Co-Chairs in your email. However, I think
we need to do a bit more to properly coordinate spec reviews, so I have
added the APA list in this response. As you know, and COGA participants
should be told, horizontal review is APA's responsibility. To that last
point most specifically it seems you're revisiting an issue already
resolved by APA. In fact that resolution took a joint teleconference
with CSS.

While we welcome COGA input, we need that input coordinated with APA's
activity, not independently pursued. I would certainly like to avoid
formalizing how we go about performing horizontal reviews, but we should
not be reopening issues recently closed without coordination.

With that in mind, a couple comments below ...

I'm having trouble understanding your statement, Any chance of a plain

Where do you see the CSS spec promoting (or requiring) low contrast?

Best,
