Prototype Silver SC

Last week, the Silver Task Force asked the LVTF for SC that did not make it
in to WCAG21. Several items were mentioned, see below. Which is our #1
choice

   - Browser exemptions/issues
      -  1.4.11 [1] -  "... where the appearance of the component is
      determined by the user agent and not modified by the author;"
the exemption
      for contrast of native active elements (form element, focus ring, media
      controls, etc.) failing WCAG20 3:1 contrast threshold
      - 1.4.13 [2] - "Exception: The visual presentation of the additional
      content is controlled by the user agent and is not modified by the
      author."  the exemption for 'title' attribute
   - Element Level Customization [3] - user interface for UA to allow
   override of many values. Closely related to Personalization. It is the
   super set of the proposed SCs on font size, family, color,
   justification, hyphenation, etc. Also know as Return of User Stylesheets
   - Printing [4] - documents printed do not loose content. Huge discussion
   - much having to do with testing. Closely related to this is the user being
   able to print what is on the screen after all of the font, spacing, and
   sizing changes have been applied. Would be nice not to have to write a
   print style sheet. If I zoom a page a bit to make it easier to read, I want
   to print at that size.
