I'd much rather see the spec define a 'CSS zapper' and state that author CSS must/should include one. > - CSS properties are limited to a certain number of informations: > size, font, etc. (but no colors for example.) Defining a default font-size will only lead to sites that do not scale well when the user changed to another default. The spec would only be contributing to more of what's out there today way too often already: text that doesn't fit some anticipated space, and thus overlaps other content. Result: inusability. The same applies to margins, paddings, lineheight, etc. -- Sander Tekelenburg The Web Repair Initiative: <http://webrepair.org/>
