16:50:17 [sarahhorton]
mbgower: start increasing size from 12, further spacing between smaller targets, creates targets approaching 24, increase space around them

I think practically a 24 pixel 'square' is an easy way to test for correct; it just doesn't work for our language
17:08:12 [bruce_bailey]
GreggV: at 12 px finger can easily hit two targets.
17:08:45 [bruce_bailey]
... previous versions were complex and led to some unexpected results...
17:09:02 [alastairc]

17:09:35 [bruce_bailey]
Chuck: Is path forward to put more effort to Wilco's approach?
17:10:31 [bruce_bailey]
Alastar: The reason for the spacing exception is that orginaly we had 44 px minimum target size and that was too much...
17:11:00 [bruce_bailey]
... we consequently dropped down to 24 px minimum size as nominal requirement...
17:11:29 [bruce_bailey]
... but one can also have smaller button so long as there is enough spacing between targets.

In Issue 2767 we discussioned the inline exception of target size. The preferred option from a WCAG 2.x meeting was: Inline: The target is a text link dependent on the line-height of non-link text. This narrows the exception to text links, and is clearer about whether something is in scope or not. It is implemented as PR 2824.
