This is what I have at the beginning (and is also what www.w3.org has)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
And I have IE 6 and Opera 7. The default font-size seems to be 'small'. What
am I doing wrong then?
However Netscape 7 seems to be correct.
There's nothing wrong with my test page, the main page of www.w3.org also
behaves wrong in IE and Opera.
