Re: Target size proposal

In line with what Andrew suggested on the call, I think we should change 
“-       Equivalent: The target is available through an equivalent link or control on the same page to provide this spacing between targets;”

for something like

“-       Equivalent: A target is available through an equivalent conforming link or control on the same page;”

Reason: this not just about spacing, but also size (of targets that may have no space between them), and it is simpler.
