Changes to Understanding 1.4.10

Dear LVTF,
The page:

http://nosetothepage.org/WCAG/1410/Und1410Change.html

Gives the changes I propose for Understanding 1.3.1. It includes an
ambitious change to the Intent section. It also repairs the misleading text
for 1.4.4. The reduction of 20px to 10px so that 400% would give 200%
enlargement did not consider the impact for tunnel vision. The user who
just wanted to shrink the viewport with no change in size would get a
terrible shock when print sizes dropped to 10px (7.5 pt). That is badly
outside the fluent range.

There are some additions to other sections. They are marked.

I also include a less ambitious change to Intent at:

We really did forget the tunnel vision use case which lead to the 1.4.4
mistake. Making font size smaller for narrower viewports will kill people
with tunnel vision.

Best, Wayne
