@supports would allow the designer to specify an alternative:
@supports(text-decoration: blink)
{ div#alert { text-decoration: blink; }
}
!@supports(text-decoration: blink)
{ div#alert
{ font-size: 85pt;
color: red;
background: url(animated.gif);
}
}
!important rules give the designer - though useful - give the designer no
such option

Not really. Mozilla's Firefox already has a "minimum font size" preference
- text that would otherwise render at less than (say) 6pt is rendered at
6pt. Again the designer is unaware. @supports would allow something like
@supports(font-size: 4pt)
{ div#eula { font-size: 4pt; }
}
!@supports(font-size: 4pt)
{ div#eula { overflow: scroll; }
}
