Re: Metadata On Hover SC Text

Hi Alastair,

All good points. Thank you.

In one of the early versions [1] we had "Simply Put: Do not rely on
tool tips alone" in the description. The SC text was:
"Metadata in a webpage that is shown on hover does not include
information necessary to perceive content. "

So we are going full circle :-)

Kindest regards,
Laura
