The sample stylesheet in the CSS2 draft has 1em on BODY, but this is really just an awkward way of saying "I get my real value elsewhere". The "Base Stylesheet"[1], whence the sample was derived, has a commented-out section in which the value on BODY is 12pt, and the background, text and link colors express the Mosaic defaults. I move that this section be uncommented and put in the sample sheet, with "font size" weighted !important. UAs must provide a means of overwriting these values, as they do now in some more mysterious system. The base/sample sheet is not meant to be a style model for author sheets, but for users and their agents.
