Soften/expand the advice in the modified note for any-*
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Reworded to remove the implication that authors should "ensure" that
"ideally" they take any-* into account...turning it into a "may", which
explains more about the rationale for the existence of these `any-*`
features without seemingly mandating that authors must follow a specific
style/design decision.

<div class="note">
While 'pointer' and 'hover' can be used to design the main style and interaction
mode of the page to suit the primary input mechanism, 'any-pointer' and 'any-hover'
can be used to ensure that all possible types of pointers available to the user are
taken into account.
can be used to potentially take into account all possible types of pointers
that have been detected.

Designing a page that relies on hovering or accurate pointing
only because 'any-hover' or 'any-pointer' indicate that at least one of the available
input mechanisms has these capabilities is likely to result in a poor experience.
Ideally, authors should strive to ensure that their page / application provides
appropriate style and functionality for all detected types of input mechanism.
However, authors may use this information to inform their decision about the style and
functionality they wish to provide based on additional input mechanisms that
are available to the user.
