Re: Testability of Animation from interactions Issue 18

PS I see the definition of "significant"
Significant animation: Animation which continues for more than 1 second,
and affects more than 1/3 of the view of the webpage.

I just wonder if that is the right threshold for triggering...

Cheers,
David MacDonald
