>I think that getting the language right is hard enough and that if we are trying to write it as integrated but then publish it as separate SCs we will run into additional challenges. Perhaps I don't understand, I was thinking for instance in WCAG 2.0 SC 1.4.4, says: * 1.4.4 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#visual-audio-contrast-scale> Resize text:* Except for captions <https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-scale.html#captionsdef> and images of text <https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-scale.html#images-of-textdef> , text <https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-scale.html#textdef> can be resized without assistive technology <https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-scale.html#atdef> up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality. (Level AA) In 2.1 It might say something like this: 1.4.4 The content of the Web page can be increased to 400% without loss of content or functionality, without two dimensional scrolling, with following the exceptions: 1. If the spatial layout of some the content is essential to that contents use, that part of the content is exempt. 2. If the user-agent fits the layout to the viewport and does not provide a means of reflowing content, two dimensional scrolling is exempt.
