Hi Nick - Thanks for your email. I haven't been involved in the TPWG in over a year for reasons that are pretty well documented at this point. Roy's feedback states that "controlled testing is a sufficient method for validating the correctness of software semantics." Well, OK. But that means that SOMEBODY still needs to expend time and resources to perform those tests. Perhaps Adobe has the resources to ascertain which signals are accurate and which are not accurate. Asking smaller entities to expend those resources is not a reasonable ask given all of the other issues confronting tech teams. In short, spending resources with the hope of making a poorly conceived standard marginally better isn't a good use of anyone's time and energy. So if you're asking me if this addresses my concerns - it does not. Thanks Nick.
