I'm with Greg on this...and we have extension implementations.

Is it our policy now to delete things that lack two implementations, or to merely list them as At Risk and make the determination at a later draft?

If we do delete it, can we list it as a recommendation?

What if it's possible to comply by using Stylish, GreaseMonkey, or similar add-ins? (You can come close using Stylish to apply something like * { line-height: 200%; }, but that admittedly simplistic solution works very inconsistently.)

Was doing document forensics with Jeanne, and in discussion got to thinking about 1.4.1


1.4.1 Basic text formatting (Globally): The user can globally set all of the following characteristics of visually rendered text content: (Level A)
* Text scale with preserved size distinctions (e.g. keeping headings proportional to main font)
* Text color and background color, choosing from all platform color options
* Font family, choosing from all installed fonts
* Line spacing, choosing from a range with at least three values

I don't believe any browser allows (provides a UI to easily set) except via CSS for
* Line spacing, choosing from a range with at least three values

the other 3 bullets have UI for easily setting these in desktop browsers. the mobile browsers I checked, Android and Chrome (Android), only allow font size change and zoom override.


Propose removing the last bullet from 1.4.1
