The problem is that since styles applied to classes over-ride styles applied to elements they will be the one shown. For authors this means that class styles should ideally not over-ride styles likely to affect accessibility, and if font-sizes are used they should be as percentages (so they will be at least relative to the user-style if there is one, e.g. if your author style for <p> has a font-size of 10pt and for .small is 80% then it should still be readable by someone who over-rides <p> to have a font size of 18pt). I've thought for some time now (and maybe this is already in the Spec, I haven't read it in a while) that stylesheets should be able to set hard rules that override everything, e.g. if you could set a style on the <body> which meant that nothing in it could have a font-size of less than 12pt no matter what it would make user-styles a lot more useful. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOtQra4Fpv9f1Mr0YEQIRNQCgoyjYI5qMnB0zYeTCBll9tA0N7VYAoNKH 8h+uV5JJJAscrJqCVypBPZW2 =4LNc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
