Re: AW: Objection to the deletion of F69

Note the quotation marks around 'works': what I mean it that the  
example works as intended in the context of F69, namely, to show a  
text clipping failure when the container size is set in percent (i.e.  
relative to viewport dimensions).

Text gets clipped by page zoom (as intended in the failure)
* in Win 7 under Explorer 9 and Firefox 7.0.1
* in Mac OS X (10.5.8) with Safari 5.0.6 and Firefox 3.6.20,
* also (can't check that right now) on Windows XP in Firefox 5 or 6.

My point was that the new failure is valid so I don"t see a reason to  
drop F69.

I hope this helps.

>> Hi WCAG WG,

>> concluded that F69 should be simply dropped.

>>  From an evaluation standpoint, the failures are of critical
>> importance since they do not come with the usual disclaimer that
>> "failure to conform does not mean that the SC is not met"  - a
>> statement that we find under nearly (?) all tests in techniques,
>> making them difficult to use in a conclusive evaluation procedure.
>>
>> So I propose to think twice before deleting failures that provide at
