The spec prescribes that the strike-through must be a single line, not multiple lines. The vertical position of the line may vary by UA, but I strongly disagree that the number of lines should vary by UA. I'm fine with clarifying the text here. I'm opposed to changing the requirements or the expected results. ~fantasai
