Re: CFC - Publish Understanding and Techniques documents with WCAG 2.1

+1

However, we need to *quickly* update the Understanding of Non-Text Content
based on our discussions this week. It says

"...any visual boundary that indicates the component's hit area (the region
where a pointer can activate the control) must have sufficient contrast
with the adjacent background. "

That idea is not consistent with the emerging consensus, which is about
identifying the control, rather than its hit area.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
