Pre-CFC to go to CR (Please respond March 29th or early March 30th)

Hi everyone,

This is a ‘pre-CFC’, highlighting the changes that will be put up for approval very soon. Please let us know if you have revisions or objections before noon Eastern COB March 30th.

From the recent discussions on Target Size and Focus Appearance we have a plan, which is:

  *   Focus appearance moves to AAA, at risk.

     *   It is updated to a stronger, simpler version (see PR below).
     *   If that version is objected to during CR, we will fall-back to the previous wording (minus the 1st set of bullets).
     *   If both versions are objected to during CR, we will remove it.

  *   Target size is updated, at risk.

     *   The ‘circles’ method is used for the spacing exception.
     *   The mention of ‘lists’ in the inline exception is removed but is addressed in the understanding document.
     *   If the circles method is objected to during CR, we will fall-back to the previous wording.

The fall-backs are subject to discussion with W3C management, but if we can’t use this plan, we will come back with another.

The changes are in this PR:

If this is approved, the understanding documents for both will need updating, but that is not part of this PR/change.

The responses to these proposals have been positive, so we are looking for objections / adjustments before we go to CFC.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
