Take line-height. Usually calibre make use of 1.2, sometimes you find it in many many places... Line-height is quite an important parameter for readability. I use an embedded font with a rather small x-height (like TNR) and so it makes sense to provide the text with a "good" enough (or say matching) line-height. Why should I trust variable "defaults" values on this?

Furthermore, if you set it up once in the body, any decent software will be able to change it easily. Or am I wrong?

When I'm happy or confident with the default, like for the "universal" default font-size (100%), I mark nothing.

Ah, nightmode... In fact I trust the author of my converter. But you have a point.

Coming back to the choice of the word "dictate". This is a political statement. I would call it "gently recommending" (the same...).
