Mea culpa. In browsing around some of the more authoritative typography resources around the web, I came across this site:
http://www.webtypography.net/ which gave me a great example of prepositions getting special treatment. I don't care for it personally, but am now convinced the comment in the CSS source did in fact mean what it said. My apologies for the implied slur on the original author's language abilities. I also now see that I was mistaken in thinking that the fancy-type plugin was enabled by default, and am posting this to avoid causing confusion among other hopeless noobs such as myself.
