The wording leaves a bit to be desired, but the intent is that there's
no loss of content or functionality if the USER applies these settings
to your page. As an author, you don't need to set these (except for
testing) - you just need to ensure things don't fall apart if the end
user does so.
I have a primary concern with this success criterion. Web pages that
already have optimal paragraph, line, word, and letter spacing (and
text sizes) can be more difficult to pass this because really good
spacing becomes VERY large spacing. An easy (though ill-advised)
solution to this is to make the default spacing and text sizes much
smaller - thus making it more difficult for everyone to read, but
easier to avoid this WCAG failure.
