I agree with you 100% that it would be much nicer for W3C specs to be width-limited, but for the time being overriding that causes them to be rejected. Hi all, We are taking up spec formatting questions in our site redesign. Text width is one consideration we will be looking at. I'll be sending more on this soon.

Note however that ReSpec will do its best to ensure that the W3C's own style is placed *last* in the <head> (this is a pubrules requirement) and so some rules in that may override yours. The workaround there is simply to make your CSS selectors more specific so that they match and apply the style anyway. > > -- > Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon > > -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260 9447
