So I don't think the comments about the author testing their web content at a particular range of text sizes make sense -- and I think that's because what this `<meta>` in particular is doing is about allowing an *additional* interacting axis of variation that adds an additional axis to the testing matrix and makes testing even less viable as an approach for making sure the content works across the variation that matters. In particular, this is adding default text size variation which interacts extensively with the viewport size to affect whether a page is likely to work correctly. So I think authors using this `<meta>` are essentially already agreeing that they're building their page by using CSS's layout systems in ways that aren't going to cause overlapping, cut off, or otherwise inaccessible text, rather than verifying by testing that they're not doing that. (I also think there's some sort of idea here that it isn't purely a matrix, in that someone who is setting an extremely large font size probably isn't going to use or want to use a very small viewport... although in some cases where they might have to they'd probably be willing to tolerate more brokenness.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by dbaron Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13557#issuecomment-4254434836 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
