Re: Text Spacing question in Dropdowns

The understanding document for text spacing states that you do not need to
provide any mechanism to increase spacing, you just need to 1) not block
the user from increasing spacing 2) make sure that if spacing is increased
the text doesn't overflow/overlap other text.

"This SC does not dictate that authors must set all their content to the
specified metrics, or provide a mechanism to do so. Rather, it specifies
that an author's content has the ability to be set to those metrics without
loss of content or functionality. "
