Well, maybe that was your point, but I don't see how this is related to what I wrote. > Providing a class name does not nullify the default style for an element. I didn't make such a claim. In fact, my point was all along that a spec'ed default style sheet must not mess around with predefined classes. Was "that default style wouldn't be applied due to the class name" ambiguous? In that case, I'll add "but due to the <i> tag". --Dao
