Focus-appearance terminology

Hi everyone,

(And particularly Andrew and Bruce who raised this.)

We were discussing the start of focus-appearance. The published version is:
“When user interface components<https://w3c.github.io/wcag/guidelines/22/#dfn-user-interface-components> receive keyboard focus, an area of the focus indicator meets the following:”

The proposed update was:
“When components receive keyboard focus, an area of the focus indicator meets the following:”

With the note, that was intended to scope it to the underlying component rather than the perceived component.

As an alternative, how about borrowing from 4.1.1 and using element:

“When elements receive keyboard focus, an area of the focus indicator meets the following:”

And then swapping ‘element’ in for component in each subsequent usage.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
