And also, presumably, to set the second colour for antialiasing, in
whichever browser/operating system combinations that support it. I know
this is supported for the similar attributes on the BODY tag already, and
is quite an important note (it makes small blue text on black readable,
for a start ...). It this actually noted anywhere in the style documents?
