Well, would it be possible or appropriate for the spec to recommend that initial UA defaults be explicitly set by the user by means of a sizing wizard on install? Such a recommendation would be non-normative, but I can't think of a better place for a formal recommendation that might actually have some effect on the eternal font-size wars. If the user is always setting their own default to suit their own needs, perhaps designers will feel less temptation to over-ride those user choices. Or maybe we are just stuck in font-size purgatory forever. -- -Adam Kuehn
