RE: Focus visible, plus?

How about putting the adverb in the middle for the AAA?

A: 2.47 Focus Visible
AA: 2.4.11 Focus Visible (Enhanced)
AAA: 2.4.xx Focus Highly Visible

How about:
    * Level A: 2.4.7 Focus visible 
    * Level AA: 2.4.11 Focus visible (Minimum) [since this is the new 
minimum, essentially encompassing 2.4.7]
    * Level AAA: 2.4.xx Focus visible (Enhanced)

Or: 
    * Level A: 2.4.7 Focus visible 
    * Level AA: 2.4.11 Focus appearance (Minimum) [since this is the new 
minimum, essentially encompassing 2.4.7]
    * Level AAA: 2.4.xx Focus appearance (Enhanced)

Thanks,

    As an FFYI SC 1.4.3 which is Level AA is labeled Contrast (Minimum).

    Hi Laura,

            > I agree with John that the real minimum is Level A.

    Fair enough, good to have a fresh view!

    I'm unsure about "median" for the new AA criterion, but I also can't 
think of anything along those lines that feels right.

    Modifying the name of 2.4.7 is something I had veered away from, but 
it might be the neatest thing, e.g:

    * Level A: 2.4.7 Focus visible (Minimum)
    * Level AA: 2.4.11 Focus visible
    * Level AAA: 2.4.xx Focus visible (Enhanced)

    Floating that, but wondering if there will be howls of complaint about 
changing a 2.0 SC name...? (Or Michael might say it will break the spec?!)

    My backup suggestion is:
    * Level A: 2.4.7 Focus visible
    * Level AA: 2.4.11 Focus visible (Contrast)
    * Level AAA: 2.4.xx Focus visible (Enhanced)

    The reasoning being that the new criteria brings in a contrast 
requirement, and the AAA one enhances that.

    Cheers,
