Hi Alastair, Patrick and all, Here is an idea.

Since the aim of issue 79 (font [1]), 78 (spacing [2]), and 74 (text color [3]) are so similar in aim why not expand it to cover those too? At one point in the Spacing SC issue Patrick suggested [4]: "...why not generalize the SC so that all sorts of presentational attributes (beyond just spacing) can be changed using user styles or similar? And the failure examples could then include things like !important and style attributes?" Would something such as the following be too wide? "Changing presentational styling does not cause loss of content or functionality." And then adjust Wayne's disclaimer: "If no mechanism exists to change presentational styling on any user agent for the target technology, then the author has no responsible to create one."
