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.
