Notes on the WCAG Technique Sections

• Applicability: no change
• Description: Does not emphasize that the title value should be short, as do the mobile best practices http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/ and other more recent resources such as the BBC Mobile Style Guide 1.1 http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/mobile_guide_v1.1_compressed.pdf
• Examples: Something like short title fitting into mobile viewport?
• Related: no change
• Tests: Possibly require additionally that the title is short (but what is 'short'?)

Suggested Changes

Note: The Technique has already been modified with a bullet point that it must be short.

Add Example 5 to the Examples heading

Example 5: A short title on a Mobile site

A Web site that is oriented toward mobile users uses a very short title that can easily fit in a smaller screen size. The title for the Login page for a blog has the title "Login: Blogname".

Discussion 21 August 2014

Add more options for the ways the title could be displayed. Also a dedicated site that serves content to a smaller site.

Also new technique needed? If you have a Responsive Web design scenario, you might refer to a related Technique for Responsive Design, or a script Technique for detecting a smaller screen size.
