Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-forms-1] Checkbox and radio sizing should meet WCAG minimum sizing (#12430)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-forms-1] Checkbox and radio sizing should meet WCAG minimum sizing`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: adopt current spec text`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;bramus> lwarlow: originally we have th ewidth and height sset to 1em for checkboxes and radios. like we’ve odne elsewhere for select options we want to have a default where the styles meet some o fthe WCAG requirements, specificlaly touch target changes<br>
&lt;bramus> … change has been made to the spec, where it uses the max of 1em or 24px to force a min size of 24px<br>
&lt;bramus> … its in the draft now, but want to have a wg agreement<br>
&lt;bramus> … font-size is set to that max<br>
&lt;bramus> … which manages touch target sizing for checkbox and radio<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: don’t see or hear any concerns<br>
&lt;bramus> masonf: there seems to be a comment from Tim (?) that he doesn’t want to set foa min-size<br>
&lt;bramus> lwarlow: IIRC it was abou tusing the min-size keywords instead of forcing it via font-size<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: so proposed resolution is to ratify the current spec text<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: makes sense, but might want to follow up on vertical alignment<br>
&lt;bramus> … baseline alingment is the standard, whcih is not what you might want<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: for checkbox, bu tnot for radio?<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: if font-size is 10px and checkbox 24, then its gonna sit weird on the line<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: can be follow-up issue<br>
&lt;lwarlow> +1<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: objections to adopt current spec text?<br>
&lt;bramus> RESOLVED: adopt current spec text<br>
