Hi BK. This kind of thing is probably better hunted down in one of the
CSS-specific sites.
The basic idea is that you do something like
/* the basic element has a different size */
span, li { font-size:1.1em }
/* but when it is an element that already has a changed size, don't change
it any more.
Note that you need to collect the combinations you might have set. */
span > span, span > li, li > span, li > li { font-size:100%}
I think the common W3C stylesheets do this (ones that are applied to specs
and stuff).
cheers
Chaals
