RE: Focus visible, plus?

I think those are good candidates, John, but to me Enhanced is less than 
Extended, so I'd suggest flipping them.  BTW, although I agree I think 
it's better not to rename the existing SC, I don't think the minimum 
argument is consistent with the fact we have a minimum as a Level AA for 
contrast at the moment. So I'd suggest

Level A: Focus visible
Level AA: Focus visible (Enhanced)
Level AAA: Focus visible (Extended)

Hi Alastair, all,

I'm personally struggling with "Minimum" at AA, since the *real* minimum 
is actually Level A - so the use of minimum in your example actually may 
add confusion, not reduce it.

What about:

Level A: Focus visible
Level AA: Focus visible (Extended)
Level AAA: Focus visible (Enhanced)

Not wed to that either, but just adding another possible choice to the 
list.

Hi everyone,
 
At the last meeting we agreed that adding an AAA version of focus-visible 
would be a good idea, assuming that someone stepped forward to create it. 
(And also that we can do it within the timescale, i.e. in the next couple 
of weeks.)
 
Sukriti jumped in (thank you!) and created this draft:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17nRYCTMT6GzKoa8G8-WUTh8NXhzx-FOED_2mNeRmmU8/edit?usp=sharing

 
Please do have a look and comment if you spot anything to improve, we’ll 
discuss the reviews on the 14th July.
 
It does bring up an issue of naming though, as it stands in WCAG 2.2 we 
have:
Level A: Focus visible
Level AA: Focus visible (enhanced)
Level AAA: Focus visible (??)
 
All sorts of strange words went through my head as to what the AAA version 
could be, but perhaps it would be best to consider both the AA and AAA 
versions for this purpose? I.e. the name for the new AA version is not 
finalised yet, so that is adjustable.
 
In WCAG 2.1 we have various meta-adjectives(?) for SCs such as:
Minimum / Enhanced
(blank) / No exception
Pre-recorded / Live
In context/Link only
Legal, Financial, Data/All
 
My initial suggestion is:
Level A: Focus visible
Level AA: Focus visible (Minimum)
Level AAA: Focus visible (Enhanced)
 
My thinking is that the new AA version defines the minimum size & 
contrast. Does that seem reasonable?
 
Kind regards,
 
-Alastair
