The SC, with the spacing exception, can > certainly aim for the latter, but the latter doesn't guarantee the former. I made a 1x1 pixel button with 23px spacing on all sides. Did I make it so that it can 'easily be activated'? No. But at least I made it unlikely that a user desperately trying to activate it would end up 'accidentally activating adjacent targets'. So to me, still, this is what the SC should be honest about. The group's intent may well be the "easily be activated" bit. But the SC per se immediately settles for the latter only. So it should just be primarily about the latter. P -- Patrick H.
