However, there are some properties that people feel should be the sole responsibiliy of the browser/reader. Examples include the dimension of the window, the use of anti-aliased fonts or not, and now the flagging of errors. These are mostly reader/browser issues (although Scott disagrees on the last one), but it's very convenient to address them through the style sheet language. Since the model, as Benjamin says, does support the overriding of author's styles, I think we should let these issues be addressed through style sheets. But we havn't reached "rough consesus" on this. Regards, -h&kon Hakon W Lie, W3C/INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis, France http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/People/howcome/
