Re: Important - we need consensus on what is sufficient support

Hi Lisa

1) We are also working on an open source browser extension that will do a number of things like line spacing, word spacing, contrast, font, size, etc.

2)  However they only work with HTML.    So any SC would have to be limited to HTML.    We tried to avoid all technology specific SC in WCAG  (we did have one restricted to markup languages).  
But if you phrase it as ‘for all technologies that ….”  but I’m not sure what goes after “that”  

hmmmm
