Nothing specific to User stylesheets.  We do plan to test parent-to-child 
and child-to-parent DOM access, which should generically cover having the 
content author directly control which CSS properties get propagated.  We 
will not test user-defined stylesheets as we don't have a conformance 
statement for it.  We have conformance statements for prerequiste CSS, 
which their testsuite should cover.  No change is planned as a response to 
this comment.

Since your original comment had to do with a "glossary" item and not 
navigation algorithms and accessibility, I assume that you agree with my 
response to the framework comment.  We plan to make no changes in response 
to this comment.
