Andy and I did not include this in our proposal as this is considered a more advanced feature. A feature would be required to allow adjust the spacing both vertically and horizontally. We have this feature in AccessForAll extended preferences vs. core. Settings for default letter-spacing and line-spacing seem reasonable to me. These can also be "set" in most browsers by way of a user style sheet, so implementation should be possible in a few ways.

I'm not sure what this means. I don't see why the mobile device context would have any bearing on whether a browser can use key/value pairs for settings. > I am also not sure this is a 1.0 item but one really big problem is that content providers are pushing down bitmaps of Math vs. MathML. Unlike bitmaps, MathML can be processed and read by assistive technologies like MathPlayer plus an AT. Should we have a setting to ask that content providers deliver MathML vs. bitmaps of Math? I am ok with addressing this beyond 1.0 but note that it is a big problem. One reason this has been there has been for older browsers not being able to render MathML or because a math render like MathJax has not been provided. The browser should know. Users with Cognitive impairments need Math to be spoken verbally in chunks. If the content provider sends down a bitmap in all situations just to play it safe then then nothing can be done to assist the user. While I agree that this is a problem, MathML is outside the scope of IndieUI. James
