However, in this case, part of the problem is that users have come to accept that only the designers have control over web pages, and those users that are aware (with IE, I disable author font sizes) have to suffer from pages that completely fall to pieces when not allowed to use the authors' sizes. The latter more or less means that you have to something of a techie, who is prepared to reset to defaults for problem sites, before you can safely change these settings. Unfortunately the problem sites are often high profile ones. W3C has a educational role, so should demonstrate best practice, not simply show off the ability of CSS to match the designer's wants. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
