Thanks Wade ands Gregory With regards your example Wade, putting all the font info with the text seems to go against the overwhelming purpose of CSS and how it has separated content from styling.
Hence I was thinking it may be possible to put some sort of css style type of thing in the XML file rather than the precise font sizes and details. This is probably not possible but it would be nice if it is?
