Re: Anything for a possible 2.2?

Any thoughts LVTF?  TPAC is next week.
We have the list of items for Silver -
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Issues_to_be_addressed_in_Silver
There was so much push back on the printing... it is an authoring issue --
if the author can add widths to 100% the problem goes away. That may be a
possibility.
Others on the list are related to customization and user style sheets - we
have individual (moderately formed SCs), and we have the general SC - Element
Level Customization
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Element_Level_Customization>.
If users have the ability to modify the styles these customizations are
possible. This may be a browser issue.

The carve outs for browser behaviors (i.e. focus ring, form borders, title
attribute) are the most irksome (to me). Tho, I think the solution to them
is a browser fix. Native browser rendering should meet WCAG2.1 by default.
If the group decides to advocate for removing the carve outs it will be a
huge protracted process.

We may have a possible SC if there is push back on the Icon Font Technique
(yet to be written). At the moment this seem too tenuous to propose as an
SC.

Any other thought?
