I haven't done a sampling, but if anybody has, I'd be interested in the percentage of sheets that actually _use_ relative font sizing versus the 'I want this 26pt, dammit' philosophy. The default stylesheet in Emacs/W3 uses relative font sizing specifically so I don't go too far from what the user wants as their default Emacs font anyway. -Bill P.
