I'll send this again, but I'll further refine it, as I've had some more time to 
fiddle and think...

This was and still is a of follow-up to my note concerning "thoughts on 
improving FSS" from a couple weeks back. Nothing terribly important, concerning 
FSS specifically, just an interesting article on resets by Harry Roberts. Reset 
Restarted <http://csswizardry.com/2011/10/reset-restarted/>.

Reason I found it so interesting is because of my use of Eric Meyer's reset 
(which as a result of time constraints I ended up using in FSSFive). And my 
unflinching support for it. Not for any stubborn ideological reason, rather my 
comfort and contentment using it. Not that there is anything wrong with The 
Meyer Reset But Harry raises a couple of solid points. And upon a quick glance 
it appears he has included what I think could be a couple useful bits of reset 
CSS.

And the reason I'm bringing it up is cause I referenced resets in my last note 
and since originally reading this I've incorporated it into FSSFive. With 
absolutely no unexpected results (the core of the reset looks similar to 
Meyer's, and that isn't what I'm most interested in). And since talking with 
Justin last week I got the impression, from his queries referencing my 
experiences getting the 960 grid system to work with FSS, you're keen on 
experimenting with other solutions (it doesn't hurt your reset does some crazy 
resizing magic with the theme, which I plan on investigating when I get 2 
seconds).

Back to it, there was one result I had to fix, being he took out underlined 
links -- for reasons he explains here 
<http://csswizardry.com/2011/05/on-negative-hovers/> under the heading 
"Underlines are intrusive." He goes on to mention the accessibility concerns, 
which in my head are reason enough to leave 'em be. Which got me thinking is 
removing them in fact an accessibility no no? But my question really is would 
removing the underlines and throwing a border under your links hurt, help or is 
indifferent? 

I'm largely talking for the sake of talking 'bout now, but I thought both of 
these thing were interesting and I'd pass them along.
