Thank you Gregg!

So is something like the following getting closer to proper SC language?

No loss of content or functionality is caused by overriding:
* font-family, or
* all text/background combination color choices that a user may change
that meet 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), or
* (Some reasonable amount TBD by LVTF) of spacing between characters,
words, lines, or paragraphs

Note: If no mechanism exists to override these items on any user agent
for the target technology, then the author has no responsibility to
create one."

Kindest Regards,
Laura
