Dear Andreas, While I agree that font-size: 86% is not something I would recommend, and while I'm sure we all appreciate your passionate contribution to this mailing-list, I would like to recommend the use of a more diplomatic and didactic tone, rather than confrontational. For instance, instead of what you wrote: > You are clueless! > What's the point of XHTML 1.1 with the stupid "font-size: 86%"? I would suggest: 1) stating politely your opinion that XHTML 1.1 may not be the wisest choice for today's Web documents 2) explain why you think font-size: 86% is a bad idea, or point to a resource explaining why, such as http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size Harsh words do not fix cluelessness, they just add layers of frustration to it. That is *not* the kind of outcome this mailing- list is designed for. Thank you, -- olivier
