Hi James, On the this week's survey [1] you selected "None of the above..." and said, "I'm not sure how to solve this but the inherent problem is that the user may have many different ways of specifying the override. Must all of them work - or only one? For instance in FF you can specify a font in the options panel but equally you could also specify a font in the user style sheet. If only one of these gives the correct results has one met this SC? If there are multiple different ways to meet the SC how can an author test that they all work?" Only one override is required on for options C, D, E, and G on the survey. The following is the test that was previously discussed and is documented in the first comment [2] on issue 78. ## Testability Using a bookmarklet, user stylesheet, or VIP-PDF Reader [3] change: 1. font family to a different font family (e.g. Verdana if that is not in use) 2. foreground color and background color to a different foreground color and background color (e.g. white on black if that combination is not in use) 3. line height of all text to 1.5, letter spacing to 0.12em, and word spacing to 0.16em. Expected Results * No loss of content or functionality. -- Will that work? Ideas for improvement?

Wayne has offered Validity Tests for spacing and font [4] as well as color [5] in that vein. Thank you.
