Jared thinks we agreed that "hiding" of decorative content should be
allowed as well as stopping. Since we hadn't discussed this, I just noted
it in the draft I submitted on Friday.
The current wording of the pausing provision is:
Moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating information must allow
pausing by the user unless it is part of an activity where timing or
movement is essential. Such content that is pure decoration must at least
allow stopping by the user.
Proposed rewording of the second sentence:
Such content that is pure decoration must at least allow stopping or hiding
by the user.
Are there any objections to this modification?
