Actually, I just tested this in Navigator 4.01. I think you
left off the "font:" property there, but Navigator doesn't understand
that anyway. When I use:
BODY { font-size: 8pt; }
Navigator 4.01 applies this font size to every element, including
H1 and H2 elements.

So, that seems to be the problem -- the engineers at Netscape
missed the same thing that I missed: inherited values don't
outweigh initial/default UA style sheet values.
Houston, we have a problem.
