Are you saying that if I specify a default font-size in the included HTML
and a default font-size in the main page, that both should adjust at the

I'm looking at it from a practical viewpoint, looking to avoid hacks like
frames and finicky server side includes. I'd be happy to see some other way

document be an HTML fragment, as with SSI now?
