Re: Mechanism Disclaimer

Josh asked:

> Is there a worry within the LVTF that font-family and related CSS type or code level changes may not be perceived as a 'mechanism' - and therefore is not sufficient to satisfy some proposed new SCs?



It is that the ‘mechanism’ language implies authors should create it. If you look through font-family, linearise, spacing, & colors; almost everyone assumes that is the case.



It would help if we could build in the assumption that it is allowing the user to achieve something, for example:

“Changing the font-family used on a web page does not cause loss of content or functionality.”



Techniques for that will include things like not relying on font-icons to convey important information.
