Hi Alastair, Lisa, and all, WCAG 2.0 has no definition for the word "paragraph". So maybe 2.1 doesn't need one ether? Regarding Line spacing 1.4.8 Visual Presentation in 2.0 says: "Line spacing (leading) is at least space-and-a-half within paragraphs, and paragraph spacing is at least 1.5 times larger than the line spacing." So how about if we added a bullet that says: * spacing between paragraphs to at least 2 (two spaces) So the metrics would read: * line spacing (leading) to at least 1.5 (space-and-a-half) * spacing between paragraphs to at least 2 (two spaces) * letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 em * word spacing to at least 0.16 em Thoughts? Lisa, does that work for you?
