That seems odd to me. I'm not sure what the intent of the 'enabled by default' phrasing is. I'd suggest just removing the parenthetical: When the effective letter-spacing between two characters is not zero Then either: user agents should not apply optional ligatures. Or optional ligatures enabled by default are explicitly disabled. Thanks, Alan
