[i18n-activity] Text decorations other than italic, underline or bold

bert-github has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Text decorations other than italic, underline or bold ==
3.3.3 Style
https://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html#style

> For some people, it is difficult to read text that is all italicized or underlined. For some people, bold text is easier to read. [...]
> User Need - Style: Users can change the text style (underline, italic, bold) of blocks of text. 

There are other kinds of text stying that may have similar accessibility issues in scripts that do not use italics, e.g., dots above letters (for emphasis, not as diacritic) and text shadows.

Letter spacing is another way to emphasize text. Does that have accessibility implications, too?
