| In 5.2.6 you suggest 1.5 as a scale factor between font sizes. | This may be too big. Consider that H1 is usually the largest item | on a page, and yet H6 needs to be legible. Since most web docs | use H1 and H2 and sometimes H3, but rarely H4, H5, and H6, this | means a default of HUGE letters for H1 and H2. I know that font-size | is independent of H attributes, but most UAs do use font-size as a | principal way of distinguishing H1-H6. I'd suggest a more modest | 1.2 as a factor, since 1.2^6 << 1.5^6. MSIE and I think Netscape too are using a factor of aprox 1.5! | In 5.6.2, you suggest same values for keywords of list-style | that seem unnecessarily cumbersome. Why not use | | [disc | circle | square | 1 | i | I | a | A | none] | | instead of the values "decimal", "lower-roman", and so on? This | seems easier, and more akin to word processors with outline features. readability .... human readability, 1 i I a A mean nothing without knowing that they mean decimal, roman, etc.
