Someone missed In Brief section for Redundant Entry
didn't reposition
Addressing @patrickhlauke comment in online thread
based on feedback from EO
Verb agreement
Received the following comments from @gundulaniemann in survey. I am going to respond here for posterity:
You aren't alone in your observation that the SCs are cumulative but ALSO redundant. It make a challenge providing a succinct summary that stands alone. The WG previously voted not to restate the earlier requirement as part of the enhanced 'in brief'. I've nonetheless tried to add a tiny bit of connecting text, which has been reworded. Please review to see if it's any better.
The EO folks are interested in focusing on inability as opposed to difficulty, hence "Some people cannot use a mouse to drag items". As well, although you are correct that touchscreens are relevant, the use of "mouse" was felt to be more immediately recognizable than "pointer", which is nonetheless used in the what to do section -- so 'mouse' provides a recognizable synonym.
Getting back to the EO perspective, many people not as familiar with accessibility will more quickly understand 'oh, it's for people who can't use a mouse'. The keyboard is obviously present in the same sentence and in the prior line. And of course the Understanding document provides in depth infor on the needs of those reliant on the keyboard API. This wording also gets us away from saying "keyboard" twice in one brief line!
