     Hi all,



     having discussed https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/59 further with

     some of my colleagues (note the comments added at the end of the issue

     today), I'd consider retiring the proposed SC - while I'd love to 
see it

     for completeness, I *think* a site/app that would fail this would be

     problematic for all users on a pointer-only device (e.g. mobile with

     just touchscreen and no way to raise an on-screen keyboard arbitrarily,

     as is the case with most mobile/tablet OSs/UAs), and not something that

     is more dramatically/specifically problematic for PWDs.



     Thoughts?
