16:01:06 [Detlev]
line-height at least can be unitless: use value multiplied by the element's font size - so paragraph offset may be vased on unitless line-height?
16:01:15 [JakeAbma]
Steve Repsher: word spacing is too CSS specific, needs work
16:02:11 [lisa]
should we do a quick survey if we are ready for a cfc

We were dependent on CSS units inadvertently. So our numbers mean the increase above normal.
16:05:49 [Mike_Elledge]
q+
16:06:20 [laura]
So how about:
16:06:20 [laura]
1. line spacing (leading) to at least 1.5 times the font size
16:06:21 [laura]
2. spacing between paragraphs to at least 2 times the font size
16:06:22 [laura]
3. letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 em
16:06:23 [laura]
4. word spacing to at least 0.16 em
16:07:00 [lisa]
reminder about the time
16:08:07 [lisa]
we can put that in understanding
16:08:13 [steverep]
Agree with Wayne....let's just say "word spacing to 0.16em plus the technology's default
16:08:23 [JakeAbma]
Wayne: ‘above normal spacing’ should have been included
16:08:31 [JakeAbma]
JF: make it ‘default’ for clarity
16:08:43 [laura]
1. line spacing (leading) to at least 1.5 times the font size above default spacing
16:08:44 [laura]
2. spacing between paragraphs to at least 2 times the font size above default spacing
16:08:45 [laura]
3. letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 em above default spacing
16:08:46 [laura]
4. word spacing to at least 0.16 em above default spacing
16:09:51 [wayne]
Why don't we don't we just put it forward now and adjust the numbers later.
