Very nice work Gary! I have just a few comments:
Re: #1, I would agree that radio buttons make more sense here, as I
think it is less ambiguous. Additionally, it follows the format you
use other places, Like "Table of Contents" in "Easier to Find."
In the "Easier to Find" section, the header includes the word
"Actions" and I don't see a corresponding section below it. Also, I'm
not really sure I know what "Inputs" are (input fields?).
in the "Easier to Control" section I can imagine a little confusion
about how to activate the shortcuts. While I understand why you've
done it this way (to display good defaults), if a shortcut has been
filled in it seems like it should be active and shouldn't have to be
checked too. What if the shortcuts only became editable when the boxes
were checked? This may not be ideal either if we want to show users
the shortcuts are editable -- so maybe there is a different solution?
In the "In my Language" section, I think it would help clarify things
to make the label "Text Alternatives" as it is on the header. The way
it is now, it almost seems like users are being given alternatives to
having the language of the site be in English.
Cheers,
Allison

#1 - What is the desire for using a checkbox instead? For a
preference where the options are Yes or No, the radio buttons with
explicit yes and no options seems to be a better interface than
having only a checkbox for Yes, where the user has to assume that
unchecking means No. I suppose the label could be switched to Use
(or something similar) instead of Yes, which might make more sense
with a checkbox, but why the checkbox?
#2 - Thanks for reading my mind Jacob. I am assuming that no one
will want to make the text spacing less than 100% ("normal"), where
the slider handle is flush left because that is the minimum value.

+1 for Justin's point #1
On #2 - from what I understand, the text spacing being flush to the
left makes sense in that 100% would be "normal", and that anythnig
less would pretty much make the text unreadable.
Or am I misunderstanding it?

Hi Gary,
Thanks for posting the updated wireframes.
Just a couple of suggestions/questions, that are both minor.
1) could we use a checkbox instead of two radio buttons for the
Background Images option
2) This may just be because it is an illustration, but the Text
spacing slider is all the way to the left and at 100%, while the
minimum text size is at 12pt and almost to the left. I would
assume that the left would be the low end and the right the top
end. In the wireframe it appears as though the sliders have max
and min on opposite sides.
