LGR: While much of this is a user agent issue, we know there is some
author responsibility. We need to capture that distinction.
[SM][I would think that foremost this is an author issue - if you use
relative sizing throughout your site, fonts should be resizable eg
www.segala.com - the majority of the text here should be resizable on
most browsers, my point is that this should be possible to achieve on
most browsers]
I'm concerned that the proposed SC could be satisfied by ignoring the
text scaling request altogether. [SM][I agree]
Resolution Proposed by Individual or Small Group:
{accept}
@@Add Level 2 SC:
1.3.6: When the user configures the scale of text, information and
relationships in the content are preserved.
[SM][Looks good]
@@Add sufficient technique for 1.3.6:
Text is specified in a technology-dependent way so that it is
user-resizable.
[SM][Maybe re-phrase as "Text size can be controlled by the user"? Or
"Text size can be controlled by the user" Covers "relative units"
specification of text and explicit font resizing options added by
author]
@@Add HTML technique 1.3.6
Text is specified using units that are user-resizable. [SM][Text size is
specified using relative units? E.g. em units, percentage units..]
@@Add Level 3 SC 1.3.7:
When the user configures the width of the viewport, information and
relationships in the content are preserved, and all content is displayed
within the configured width without need for a horizontal scrollbar.
[SM][Looks good]
