Re: Target size updates

  *   “constrained by” does not mean a link has to be the maximum size of the line-height, it means that the line-height has to be less than 24px.
I.e. an 8px high link (such as a superscript text-link) is excepted if the line height is under 24px. it doesn’t have to be the height of the line-height.
GV: Is there also a note to this effect?   This is good but not clear from SC without a note

AC: I think the logic of it is clear, as it is an exception to the initial SC text, I’d hope that a couple of examples in the understanding would do the job.


GV: the full text in   #2798 says    "The target is in a sentence or block of text;"    ( This is good)  Do we define "block of text"?

I think that might be a miss-read (that PR is for the target offset), the new text<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/2856/files> for the inline exception does not include “block of text”.

Also, the definition of “block of text”<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#dfn-blocks-of-text> is “more than one sentence of text”, so the current wording for 2.5.5 is effectively: The target is in a sentence, or more than one sentence of text”. That’s why I think the new wording would be better for both SCs.
