<p> I just wanted to extend the meaning of 'visibility' so that it
does not match only the 'clocks' but more things and for example
'advertising' devices. <br>
</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, I find as well that "house"/"street"/"area"
are not very well understandable values for "visibility", but its
was the existing values, and I did n't want to change them, maybe
just precise their scope. <br>
</p>
<p>I think we should remove the distance in meters, because 5m, 20m,
or any other distances won't fit to all needs. It is more to get
the average scope, rather than an exact distance.</p>
<p>Visibility and readability are not the same, things are first
visible, then when you get closer same things become readable. But
as tag is called 'visibility' we should only speak about
visibility and forget about readability here. <br>
</p>
<p>Then I make another proposal<br>
</p>
<p><b>visibility=*</b> is used for publicly visible devices or
features to evaluate the scope of their visibility<br>
</p>
-visibility=house : visible from the distance of one house (or
building), the device is targeted mostly for pedestrians, or bikers<br>
-visibility=street : visible from the distance of one street, the
device is targeted up to passers-by into vehicles going slowly<br>
-visibility=area : visible from all the area, the device is targeted
up to passers-by into vehicles going fast<br>
<br>
If somebody wants to make a better wordings, I would be glad <br>
<br>
Thank you <br>

<p>Do you mean visibility, or would legibility be better here?
Maybe I can see a clock from 100m away, but it is not
actually useful until it becomes legible at 20m.</p>
<p>You use the word "readable" (=legible) yourself.</p>

<div>+1 for text, less pertinent for things like an inflatable
sculpture or similar, also the values seem off from what I'd
expect by reading their names.</div>
<div>"house" doesn't seem to be a good name in general, as it
refers to a residential building, the least place where I'd
expect advertisements to be mapped. I'd call it "indoor" or
"building" and would expect it to mean something like 20m. 5 m
is really nothing. Similarly, 20m is very few for the "street"
scope, I'd expect this to be something like 50-150m, while area
could be up to one or a few kilometers (if placed on a high
building, and e.g. illuminated or light emitting at night ).</div>
