If you check your sample in either e.g. Chromium, Opera, Firefox 7 or current Safari, you'll see that they show the result as you expected (second "What size am I ?" is smaller than the first). Your latest example shows exactly the point I am making: The HTML 4.01 spec says, 'style' is inherited, when in fact it does not seem to be (or all current browsers would be wrong on this). -kris
