Another body style question following from Felix's rant ...

I looked at what Yahoo do in their style, (http://www.yahoo.com) and they
have the following as their body style:


body{font:84%/1.2em arial,sans-serif;direction:ltr}

What's the point of setting the body font at 84% of 1.2em? (which is what I
assume is what's happening). That's 100.8% if my arithmetic is correct, so
is there any point to this instead of setting it to 100%/1.0em?


What does the 'direction:ltr' part do?

Cheers
