The use of CSS definitions for <DT> and <DD> override the ><FONT> tag on MSIE... is this standard, or just how MSIE handles it? >(How do other browsers handle it...?) As far as I understand stylesheets, I think they are supposed to provide basic style-guidelines that are used instead of stylesheets that are implemented into UAs. Before the CSS1 spec <FONT>-tags overrode stylesheets given by UAs. In analogy to this I would propose that now the <FONT>-tag overrides those stylesheets defined by the author (when present). I appreciate any comments.
