Thanks Alastair! I'll create a new Metadata on mouse-over SC wiki page.

Well, officially it is: a set of data that describes and gives information about other data. However, we can probably be a bit more general though, thinking about it, how about: “Information is available through more than one input mechanism.” That should align nicely with the Mobile TF’s “Concurrent input mechanism” SC: https://github.com/w3c/Mobile-A11y-Extension/blob/gh-pages/SCs/m6.md Tooltips is one example, but that should help catch things which are not functional per-se, but do require mouse-over or another specific input mechanism… Cheers, -Alastair
