Hi Kai and all, For info concerning the Consensus website, for now the domain name is down, but you can still access it through its fixed IP address: http://129.13.169.61/ Best Regards, Cedric -----Original Message----- From: www-di-request@w3.org [mailto:www-di-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Kai Hendry Sent: mardi 8 juin 2004 12:38 To: www-di@w3.org Subject: For want of a better word I have chosen the word "scale" to describe how content is proportionally defined to be able to be device independent. So if text is sized at 100% it should be very readable / legible default setting on a desktop browser, as well as a XHTML micro browser on a mobile. Hence it scales across devices... Am I correct for using the word "scale"? It seems to be an overloaded term. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=scale It's often referred on the web to whether hardware or software can meet large amounts of users. Here I am asserting that it's the devices browsers responsibility to resize the text accordingly, not the content authors: http://natalian.org/archives/2004/06/07/can-text-scale/ W3 resources such as: http://www.w3.org/TR/acdi/#diac-3.29 Certainly doesn't make it any clearer. :/ Kind regards, p.s. Btw http://www.consensus-online.org/ is still not working ...
