Since most of the group doesn't seem to be able to make sense of it (based on the minutes from 19 March [1]), I'd then propose dropping that section. > In that light then, I'm not sure what to change about the text in 7.1.1 > itself, but I might suggest that all of section 7.1 be marked as being about > techniques and generally good ideas.

It's actually not meant to be wishy-washy -- it's meant to be a requirement to keep the security context of whatever the user is currently interacting with on screen, except in the usual full-screen presentation modes. > I think I'm proposing that 7.1.4 be broken out into it's own 7.2 > (renumbering other parts accordingly) and that 7.1.1, 7.1.2, and > 7.1.3 be marked as non-normative techniques, maybe? For the moment, that's what I've done (also based on Stephen's proposal during the 19 March call). I still think this entire section needs more work, but I guess for the next working draft, the current state is fine.
