RE: 1.4.4 Resize Text and native mobile apps - the conundrum

Hi Glenda,

I suggest you reach out about this to Kathy Wahlbin, the head of the Mobile A11y TF.

Also, I would be interested in Wayne’s perspective. He has done a lot of great work in this area.

Oh Awesome and wonderful LVTF,

I've got an important question for you.  When trying to apply 1.4.4 Resize Text to Native Mobile Apps, I've hit some uncomfortable situations.    I've written up my concerns over here on this github issue.  I'd love to hear what y'all think too!
