Discussiong for Updated Response to issue 650/655/695/711 on Content on Hover or Focus

-1 Sorry, but the SC preliminary text is incomprehensible now. I tried taking a stab at correcting this, but I don't like my version.
[Steve] Obviously I disagree, and the reviewers I was able to get gave a thumbs up as well.  I’ll try to explain more below, but your objection seems to be 100% editorial and we can adjust that after CR.  Bottom line is there was not enough time to wordsmith this perfectly.


> Where receiving pointer hover or keyboard focus triggers additional content to become visible, and removing hover or focus causes the additional content to be hidden, the following are true:
[Steve] That’s fine too, just much less succinct.  It says the exact same thing though.


Perhaps if the additional content become the subject of the text?
[Steve] I’ve tried that too and it’s not better IMHO.


I don't understand why the accommodation was made for 650, since a tab panel's content is updated on activation, not on hover. What that comment may have exposed is that some things like tab items may be authored to include hover as well as selection as a means of updating the tabpanel. If that is the case, this SC needs to be revamped to clarify that it is the dependency on hover to expose information that needs to be addressed.
[Steve] Issue 650 has nothing to do with hover.  The accommodation was made because a tab list, at least in some designs, operates where left/right arrow focus/select the next tab.  Rather than arguing about the subtle differences between selection, activation, focus, etc., I made a simple change that reflects the true intention of the SC all along.  The SC was designed for content which appears and disappears onhover() and onmouseout(), respectively, or onfocus() and onblur*(, respectively.  A tab may appear onfocus(), but it does not disappear onblur(); it disappears if another tab gets focus.


Here's a revision that I think addresses both issues:

> When additional content is revealed or hidden based solely on a trigger item receiving keyboard focus or pointer hover, the following are true:
[Steve] Sorry, this does not address #650 at all and the introduction of “solely” may be the usual case but doesn’t cover everything the SC should.
