Hi Jason, David, Andrew, Steve, and all, Regarding the latest proposed adapting text SC text, Jason wrote [1]: >> It doesn't eliminate the use of the word "essential", which is not here used in accordance with its WCAG definition. David wrote [2]: > That word is in both proposals so I think we should consider that separately... perhaps you can file an issue on github. It seems we already have an open issue for Use of "essential" for several SCs including adapting text. It is #372 [3]. Andrew, Issue 372 wasn't listed for Adapting Text SC (or any of the others) in your November 6 email [4] so I didn't add to the the Wiki page with the rest of proposals for resolving Adapting Text issues [5]. Should I add it to the Wiki page? Or should we deal with Issue 372 later? On September 25, Steve commented in Issue 372 regarding the use of the word "essential" in the Adapting Text SC. He said [6]: "The criterion refers to "no loss of essential content or functionality". The word seems to have been introduced by @awkawk in a comment way back in March [7], but I could not find any rationale for its inclusion in the language (i.e. an example of content loss that would be acceptable). Given this, and the fact that both Resize Text and Zoom Content refer to "loss of content or functionality" without using essential, I propose to simply remove the word from this SC." Andrew and all, would you be able to live with removing the word essential from the SC? Thank you.
