I thought the idea was that anything that passes 2.1 should be backwards-compatible and pass 2.0, not the other way around? In which case extending 1.4.3 to explicitly mention more elements would satisfy this? I’m not sure that’s 100% settled, but there were some arguments about (legislative) stakeholders needing clear upgrade paths where additive-only helps. In the meantime we’re taking the approach of only creating additive guidelines. If they can be compacted down that’s great. After a bit of thought it worked well for the sizing ones, we’ve a scale going from current 2.0 (200% for text), to improved (400% for all content), to reflow. Cheers, -Alastair
