Re: WCAG 2.1 Guideline Suggested Changes

+1 to what Alastair said  (I much prefer the simpler approach of 2.5 Input
Methods )

*2.5 Input Methods*

*2.5.1 Pointer Gestures*

*2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation*

*2.5.3 Target Size*

*2.5.4 Concurrent Input Mechanisms*

*2.5.5 Motion Actuation (was 2.6.1)*
