If you just want something to be smaller stylistically and there's nothing special about that portion of the text then I think using <small> for it would be as bad as using <h1> just to make text bigger; CSS is a better choice. > e.g., just because "fine print" legalese is called what it is doesn't > doesn't necessarily make it unimportant or less important. It's less important in the sense that it isn't the point of what the author wants users to have conveyed to them; it's less important to the message. (Of course, to users any caveats in the small print may be very important indeed!) Smylers
