If _that_ is the argument, then the recommendation shoul be that a browser have _the_ same (whichever) default style sheet on all platforms. Would that be necessary? If a browser vendor makes different decisions for different platforms, maybe there's a reason. Anyway, if the recommendation is retained in this weakened form, the reason for it should be given, and it should not be connected with any sample sheet in the specification. > The user doesn't always have > a choice what browser they use, so they should be able to rely on it > behaving like the others. How common is it that a Windows user is forced to use a Mac, or vice versa, and can (or has to) use the _same_ browser? (For some definition of "same".) Would the browser-default left margin or browser-default list bullet really be a problem here? -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
