Re: Testability of Animation from interactions Issue 18

Just reading through this thread - if the main user issue in user-initiated animation is really parallax scrolling, can we not focus on that - assuming that it will mostly involve the entire viewpoint - and demand that it’s either avoided or, when used, there are UA, or a11y-supported common browser or site settings available that will disable parallax scrolling?
Regarding other smaller animations, it will be very difficult to define / quantify the type of animation and in turn how distracting it may be - on a continuous scale from slow / subtle / hardly noticeable and not a problem at all, to really annoying.

Therefore it should have similar importance/impact as the current animation one.
