    [Marcy Sutton, a11y] ahhhh longdesc. I’m actually mentioning that in my Creative Mornings empathy talk this week. Quite a legacy on that one :wink:

    @marcysutton “Legacy” is certainly one word that can be used. I look forward to hearing how it's received.

    [Brian Kardell, a11y] dlyanb: just today hacks.mozilla.org post on grids "When you think of it, that’s a really interesting property. One aspect of it is that the ordering of the content in the HTML markup isn’t important anymore. "

    [Dean Birkett, a11y] Just found this on the BBC accessibility pages:

    "Having a minimum text size will reduce the number of users who need to make use of browser based text resize or page zoom. This is a particular issue with an ageing audience, many of whom will not consider themselves as having low vision and there will not have access to assistive technology or be familiar with browser tools to resize content.”

    ….. the guidelines recommend 11px and 13px(!)

    @bkardell @dylanb Timing. I just bitched about that CSS grid piece on Twitter. Got a quick reply that it had been brought up as a concern this morning on WG call: http://logs.csswg.org/irc.w3.org/css/2015-09-09/#e593627

    [Marcy Sutton, a11y] @valhead: your article is so fantastic. Did you see any examples of animation controls/toggles in the wild? Short of the awesome browser control idea :smile: cc @gregtarnoff

    [Val Head, a11y] @marcysutton: Thanks Marcy! :simple_smile: tbh I’ve only ever seen one in the wild and it really wasn’t that well done so I didn’t want to call it out in the article. Maybe Greg has seen others around?
