2.1 A brief CSS 2.1 tutorial for HTML


Setting color without setting background is bad practice.  Using absolute
units in author style sheets is bad practice.  The examples tacitly endorse
these bad practices.  Please use 'em' and either add background
declarations or replace 'color' with a property that is fine when set solo.


"Since no color value has been specified for the P element"

Change "specified" to "declared".  Every property is "specified" on every
element, in as much as every property has what is called a "specified
value".
