I'm wondering if this might actually be better input to something like [WCAG](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) instead.

Hey @frivoal  Thank you for the kind words.

One of the reasons I mentioned this is the APCA is part of WCAG 3.0 (aka Silver) and indicates future contrast prediction methods.

But as far as what to do with the spec "today" — probably can't do too much until WCAG 3.0 is "officially adopted" but the method and math behind APCA is so different that I've attempted to be proactive in raising awareness regarding the future WCAG specs, and particularly here as "prefers contrast" is directly an accessibility thing.

One thing I've notices is the W3 is sufficiently large that there is not always complete information about what is going on in the various working groups (something we are working to change in the low vision task force of the AGWG).
