I mean only design possibility, which is not taken advantage of in
modern web, unfortunately.
I think the history of the web all the way up through now proves quite
well that web devs *will never* standardize on any sort of "proper way
to do things" unless some outside factor forces it.
That's usually related to tiny text, but that affects the overall
layout too.
Designers like their 5-pixel fonts and believe everybody will appreciate
them. But I think pixel-oriented design is a flawed design choice for
web, web wasn't designed to work that way.
Uhh...not these days. These days they mostly all love their gigantic
one-inch fonts. Half the websites I visit, I have to zoom *out* just to
make reading it reasonably comfortable.
(Meh, and then on mobile I have to zoom waaay in before attempting to
click on any links, because mobile device manufacturers seem to think my
fingers are every bit as slender and precise as a resistive or active
stylus. Seriously, when my contract's up I'm moving to a Galaxy Note. F*
this Sh* ;) )
