I believe we agreed right at the end of https://www.w3.org/2021/05/24-personalization-minutes.html that we should leave this as-is, because whilst a distraction (probably?) can't be critical
it could be moderate
or low
.
Just a quick note that the discussion seems to start at https://www.w3.org/2021/05/24-personalization-minutes.html#x170
Closing this issue after confirming that there were no objections to leaving distraction as-is in the 24 May meeting minutes.
Module 1 states that
distraction
"is intended" to be applied to things that are not essential.Is the intent that anything flagged as a distraction would be assumed to be of "low"
simplification
essentiality? Would making such a link break any known, or preclude any foreseen, cases? Would it cause author confusion?If we mean "is intended to be used" in the "should" RFC/ARIA sense, then the
simplification
part is technically optional, so we should clarify that it's expected, but not mandatory.If we're sure that anything flagged as a
distraction
is not essential, then thesimplification=low
part could be implicit. However, there is a "should" clause in the spec about providing an accessible name for the distracting content and I'm not sure why (so am quite possibly missing something). Perhaps the name could be used to offer the user the option of reviewing which content was hidden on the grounds of it being distracting, so at least they could find out that they're missing something? (I've just realised that could be the reason and it sounds like a neat feature :-).)
