Re: line height info

Thanks for that Shawn, lots of quality organisations there!

I think we need to be clear what we’re aiming for, to stretch a metaphor: a large hammer will break things, a couple of small hammers might have enough power.

If the SC text applies to whole pages (including navigation, menus, etc.) then it could create a high bar for conformance without (I think?) helping the end-users much.

My assumption is that blocks of text are the most relevant for readability, things like menus & buttons tend to have space around them anyway?

I think the two options are:

1. Use moderate values in the SC that apply to the whole page, and assume that people who need more also ‘linearize’, at which point menus etc. have their layout over-ridden anyway.
 
2. Use maximum (useful) values but narrow the scope to blocks of text.

So question to the group: Would you prefer this SC apply to the whole page a bit, or blocks of text a lot?

Or have I misunderstood the requirement?

Cheers,
