Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] env(preferred-text-scale) (Issue #1101)

Thanks for your proposal. The TAG believes that it significantly improves text scaling on the web. However, we think that the accessibility requests for non-linear scaling have not been prioritized adequately. We'd appreciate it if the CSSWG could work with the AGWG and/or the APAWG to co-design a scaling system that'll do a better job of avoiding too-large headings.

The factor `preferred-text-scale`, although bucketed, may introduce a fingerprinting bit and identify visually impaired users. However, this information could also be derived from other sources.

Because we consider the improvement in legibility important, we conclude this review as **satisfied with concerns**. This reflects the consensus of the TAG.
