Maybe I just don't get this discussion, but it seems to me that style sheets were created to allow a user sheet to override the author's style sheet. In my opinion, all we need to do is be careful to keep code semantic and avoid gratuitous !important declarations. What more is needed?

Developers put up a style-less page of text and hope to heck the users have a nice user style set up in their browser preferences???!!! Umm, no thanks. There would be _a lot_ of unemployed designers/developers not to mention a hideously ugly and boring internet. On the flip side, if users are implementing their own styles, they must be having a relatively poor internet experience when visiting the vast majority of sites. I think this would exclude, however, users who need/use an extreme user style due to visual impairment, etc. This is not to say that I don't allow for text scaling, etc. in my pages, but there has to be a limit. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Multimedia Artist | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* -- No virus found in this incoming message.
