Hi Jake,
I thought working with a smaller size was what had emerged as an 
alternative approach favoured by some in the last WG telco - but of 
course am open to other approaches. Setting a lower target size for an 
AA requirement may be easier to understand, and it would avoid the 
detrimental approach of reducing target size in order compress groups pf 
targets (as would probably also happen if we set 8px as minuimum distance).

The other potential negative impact of an 8px distance requirement would 
be the incentive to create targets with gaps rather than including 
padding (of icons or text links)  in the active target area, which at 
least for mouse users would be better than gaps (I guess the tap 
heuristics make this less of a problem under mobile OSs).

Best,
Detlev
