This is closer to on-topic. In this case, if you made no effort to say
anything about presentation, you would IMHO pass. But if you use a layout
table, or a couple of <big> elements, you fail.
(I have a pretty plain-english interpretation - there is a legal term in
Anglo-Saxon law called "a reasonable person" which is "the average man on
the Clapham omnibus". The average man on the Clapham omnibus is a pretty
straight-talking no-nonsense kind of a bloke still....)
