Hi everyone,
Thinking about the(se) adaptation Success Criteria, I really think the process is more important than the SC text at this stage.
As I outlined before:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2017JanMar/0418.html
I think we need an *open* process to test the limits of what a user-side script or extension can do, to find out what authors can reasonably do.
These things are not new, the Opera browser used to have user-stylesheets that adjusted colours, layouts etc. There are extensions now that pull out content and re-format it. But there is no standard, no one has tried to define it in an open way.
We need to have a preliminary requirement (SC text), then test, write and test again.
If we don’t have an initial stake in the ground (of the SC text) then there is no point putting the effort into testing and writing techniques, but if we do, we have a plan and the SC text can be modified later based on the results.
Cheers,
-Alastair
