Draft response:

Thank you for your comment.

The existing wording covers considerations not covered by your rewording.

Essentially, the SC as worded covers items which appear or disappear in coordination with hover or focus. In order to apply, the content must both appear on focus and also disappear when focus is lost (and likewise for receiving and losing hover).

Your rewording alters what would be covered by the SC. Now, any component that causes new content to appear on focus or hover would apply --even if the content is intended to persist. The bulleted items in the SC would then force the author to make that content disappear when focus is lost, even though that may not be the intended interaction of the component.

Revised:

Where the sequence of steps for receiving and removing pointer hover or keyboard focus correlate with additional content to become visible and hidden, respectively, the following are true:
