Text spacing understanding reword #1457
Conversation
Mild editing for common usage and readability. I was unclear exactly what was meant by the second paragraph of the Intent section; however, the suggested minor edit seems to make it more sensical. The User Responsibility section read very oddly. I have attempted to clarify while retaining its spirit.
Removed second paragraph. I tried, but really could not make sense of exactly what the paragraph was trying to convey. The author responsibility section immediately following touches on the idea of the SC being a baseline which authors are encouraged to exceed. I have put this in as a separate commit, in case it is felt the paragraph has value, making it easier to keep out of the PR without losing other editorial fixes.

@patrickhlauke, please see my individual comments on commits. I put the removal in a separate commit so it is easy to reject and keep other chagnes. I found this paragraph nonsensical when I read it, and tried to just do a minor change in the first commit, which I think makes it more readable. But when I reread it after that change, it remains unclear to me exactly what it is saying (if it is more than what is talked about in the very next section, which I also addressed in my commit and PR comments). Maybe you could explain what the paragraph is trying to explain, and if it is adds more to what follows 2 paragraphs later
I'm fine to rewrite if I understand what needs to be said. I don't have a lot of skin in this game, but I do feel pretty strongly that as it stands the paragraph is of little value. |

@patrickhlauke Is this what it's meant to say?
That seems to me to be self-evident from the wording in the SC, but this at least makes sense to me, which the existing wording on its own did not. I suggest this would fit better as the third paragraph of the Intent, rather than the second. Let me know, and I'll push it as another commit. |
Addressing Patrick's comment
-trivial style edit in first paragraph. -brought up user responsibility to immediately follow author responsibility, and removed last line in author responsibility, which was about the user. - added line in author responsibility saying they are not responsible for providing a mechanism to alter text spacing (something I thought was still not clear). Made Applicability a peer heading of these.

Implemented a replacement second paragraph. |

@mbgower You still want this PR? |

This is so conflicted at this point, that I'd recommend redoing this as a fresh PR |

Incorporated changes from #1457 into a clean PR

Redid this cleanly against main as #4125 |
I was working on something else, merely referencing this, but got pulled up short by the second paragraph of the Intent -- then got drawn into some other minor fixes. I don't believe anything I'm proposing in the first commit is adventurous.
The second commit, which strips out the second paragraph is more so, but I think is supportable.
