Re: CFC: Target Size and Target Size (no exception) SC

It appears the European Union is looking for Mobile requirements for
legislation. Every set of guidelines and best practices for mobile that
I've seen has something about target size. (yes "mobile", not touch screens)

It would be good to get something into 2.1 about target size. Otherwise it
may appear to be a gap, that needs to be filled with other standards etc...

Personally, I'd like to see it based on screen size, understanding that
there will be better ways to determine coarse/fine pointer use in the
future, but I'd say its the best way we have in 2017, in terms of
implementability, and understandability from devs. Otherwise adding an
exception for groups of more than 10 controls.

I'm hoping we don't have to punt this to Silver, but that's something we
have to decide as a group. I've learned consensus is gold.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
