RE: CFC - Target Size (2 options)

I cannot live with either option 1 or 2

44 x 44 as a basis with all proper exemptions (we haven’t been there) would have done the job for 2.1 to start with.
The other sizes are unfounded and conflicting.

Importance: High

Call For Consensus — ends Friday January 19th at 11:30pm Boston time.

The Working Group has discussed a change to the Target Size SC in response to public comments.

The proposed SC text (Option 1):

The size of the target for pointer inputs is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels or is at least 26 by 26 CSS pixels with 8 CSS pixels spacing between targets except when:

·         Equivalent - The target is available through an equivalent link or control on the same page that is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels pixels or is at least 28 by 28 CSS pixels with 8 CSS pixels spacing between targets;
·         Inline- The target is in a sentence or block of text;
·         User Agent Control - The size of the target is determined by the user agent and is not modified by the author.
·         Essential - A particular presentation of the target is essential to the information being conveyed
·         Viewport size: The viewport size has a length (height or width) of at least 1000 CSS pixels.

The proposed SC text (Option 2) – this is identical to option 1 but removes the exception for viewport size.

The size of the target for pointer inputs is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels or is at least 26 by 26 CSS pixels with 8 CSS pixels spacing between targets except when:

·         Equivalent - The target is available through an equivalent link or control on the same page that is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels pixels or is at least 28 by 28 CSS pixels with 8 CSS pixels spacing between targets;
·         Inline- The target is in a sentence or block of text;
·         User Agent Control - The size of the target is determined by the user agent and is not modified by the author.
·         Essential - A particular presentation of the target is essential to the information being conveyed

Please indicate if you can:
Live with option 1 and not option 2
Live with option 2 and not option 1
Live with option 1 or option 2, but prefer option 1
Live with option 1 or option 2, but prefer option 2
Cannot live with either option 1 or 2
