even _if_ you are right, there is nothing that can hurt to positively specify the font-sizes for every single style-rule which specfies a font. any browser supporting ccs will know how to display that size correctly so i think we should to make sure. i know for a fact that netscape sometimes has problems if you dont, so in this case im +2 for redundancy.
Well, I'm not against it, but I think that the way we are specifying font sizes (ie. relative to the base size), there's not much we can do about anyone wanting to see small letters. But I'm not *that* sure. Go ahead and implement this if you want.

eh, i really hope i don't understand you or that you don't know what you are saying here :) those links are UN-VISITED in my book and they have nothing to do whatsoever with which page that i have just loaded. yes, they are internal links, but if i have not clicked on anyone of these links they should remain blue forver (or the browser-default un-visited colour) untill i do click on one of them at which point it should turn red (or the browser-default visited colour). _any_ unvisted link should look unvisited to a user and that is something we can (and should) do something about. btw it works correctly on ie5.1/mac
Tell MS :) This is how I feel too, but internal links (ie to #something), still point to the same file, so by MS's book these are already visited. There's not much we can do about it I'm afraid, unless we make all visited links blue, in which case they won't look visited when they are.
