It's the first draft of WCAG 3, we have a lot of questions that we want answered. Here's my "Insider look" with the detailed explanation of the important issues and the specific questions we want feedback on.

Type and typography are the fundamentals of communication, and to communicate effectively we need to understand how fonts perform with audiences of different abilities.

Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary, went on to say: "The president is committed to building an America that is more inclusive, more just, and more accessible for every American including Americans with #disabilities and their families." <big smile> #a11y

For those #a11y experts looking for more detail on the science behind the first draft of #WCAG3 visual contrast, see @MyndexResearch site and tool for measuring visual contrast of color and font combinations.

I'm glad to see this. May I introduce you to the next generation contrast tool and specification? It is based on solid vision science, perceptually accurate, and part of the new #WCAG3 (aka Silver) which just released the FPWD on Friday.

Ach, and I should have said: "you will ever read".
And I appreciate the considered approach, I know that hot-takes are much easier now in the age of social media!

As unofficially as I can say, it is also likely to seem the most complicated version of WCAG 3.0 you read.
Partly because of the difference you mention, partly because it will improve with feedback, and partly because people will get used to the new ideas over time.
