If a user has a reading disability then garbled text would be more of
a problem, but is that really a sufficient benefit to motivate

garbled text. We are saying "If your content is WCAG compliant, you
may be sufficiently concerned to implement this BP on accessibility
grounds." Maybe we can discuss this on the call today.
