Oops, didn't mean to make this comment "a review" but whatevs.
| - `env(preferred-text-scale)` provides the scale factor on both mobile and desktop browsers. It is derived from the OS-level font scale and UA-level font size setting. Desktop browser users continue to be able to change the initial font-size. | ||

| We expect `scale` to become best practice for authors to use on all new website designs, just as they use the viewport meta tag. It allows authors to continue to use font-relative units like `rem` and `em` like they normally would and mostly avoid using `env(preferred-text-scale)`. | ||

Josh, WDYT of adding a before/after section here that shows what <meta text-scale> helps with? I think the section would basically comprise slides 5&6 from the pdf you e-mailed on 19 Dec. (Though maybe reversed to show the "FAIL" state of the world as it is currently?)
If so, is that something you're up for doing, given that you already have the graphics for it?
