Hi Laura, > Alastair, would it be possible for you to incorporate Lisa's metrics into your bookmarklet for testing so we can know for sure? It doesn't really fit, the SC (even after all the 'honing') applies to all text on the page. It doesn't differentiate between blocks of text and navigation, lists, headings etc. If we simply add a bullet about spacing around paragraphs (and/or?) sections /regions, we would have to create another SCs-worth of definitions to scope that. A user-side script / extension that overrides the site styles is a blunt tool, it doesn't know how the site is put together. If you have a look at the kind of nesting that happens on most websites, adding spacing to regions of the page is guaranteed to make things fall apart, it wouldn't help. (E.g. add any spacing at all to <div>s and you'd have more spacing than content!) I could see that adding spacing around blocks of text (e.g. paragraphs) could work, but as a solution it would be pretty hit-and-miss, and would still be hard to define. -Alastair
