Two CSS Validator Suggestions

Hi,

I appreciate having the online CSS validator (
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ ) to check my style sheets.

When I ran the validator a "warning came up with a message that is confusing
and may be taken in two opposing ways:

a.. Line : 0 font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a
last alternative

Does this message mean "always ADD a font-family to every text related
option"?  Also in US English we sometimes say "that's the last thing I would
do", which is really a way to say I would never do it, even if there were
only three options.  So I would change the warning readout to avoid the
misunderstanding.

Secondly and more importantly, since I am now a bit confused by the warning
readout, I would suggest a related "details" hyperlink be placed inline in
the warning section by each error message that explains in more detail and
gives a sample (side-by-side if possible) of the right and wrong way to code
this issue.  Yes, I can go back to the larger body of CSS documentation
listed on W3 to figure out font-family guidelines and search around to find
the answer, but why when a hyperlink can do the searching for me?

Thanks for all your great work!

Regards,

Bill
