The CSS specs don't assume that Author = Programmer

I bet they're not either, but the CSS specifications are actually
"Software Requirement Specifications" aimed at programmers rather than
'your' author the style sheet producer. The specifications are written
so that a programmer (software author) can write a browser that handles
a 'sheet' written in a particular format and to a given set of rules.

| This specification has been written with two types of readers in mind:
| CSS authors and CSS implementors. We hope the specification will
provide
| authors with the tools they need to write efficient, attractive, and
| accessible documents, without overexposing them to CSS's
implementation

| towards the end.
BTW, I though this thread was about font.
