-1 for font-size: small.
If we want a small(er) font, I'd propose using px instead, because if
someone set up his browser to use a smaller font by default, a
font-size:small will lead to a non-readable document.

First a general comment (not to you specifically): Careful on the use of "-1". In Apache terms, this doesn't mean "I disagree" or "I vote against". Rather, it means "I VETO this change". Vetos should be used only when you have very serious objections and you can back them up with strong arguments. (And some people believe that vetos should never be used on documentation changes, because "he who does the work, makes the choices.") A less strong expression of opinion would be "-0", or simply "I disagree".


Now on to the content: Wouldn't you agree that anyone who finds text unreadable with font-size:small (or <small> or <font size="-1">) would have a very hard time browsing the web. The majority of major websites use that setting. Even google, that bastion of "Usability enhanced" web design, uses <font size="-1"> for most of its text. The same thing goes for side menus (or in google's case, side advertisements).

As I've said, it's silly that the web ended up this way, but <small> is the default font size.

I set up several alternate style sheets (loose style, sidebar, color
schemes), which you may try out using a browser that can handle them
(e.g. mozilla).

Great work. I think I might take a few more days off of the style issue before I come back to it. If any of the other committers wants to follow up, please feel free. Otherwise, I'll look at it in a few days.
