Re: Brief summary of text resizing and reflow success criteria

Thanks for the input in e-mail and on the call today.

Are these correct -- even if not comprehensive:

* When users resize text up to 400% or change text spacing, no information is lost.
* In small windows ("viewports") or when users zoom text larger, text reflows so that users don't have to scroll to read a line of text.

?

The primary purpose of SC 1.4.10 is not for mobile but for low vision users to be able to zoom in to 400% from a standard resolution and still have a page that is readable without scrolling.    So in other words – to facilitate reflow of text at smaller viewports including those made smaller by using browser zoom.
