http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/Clagnut/eonsSS.html demonstrates the meaning of
"falls foul" in such cases.
The same also applies when a user has applied a rudimentary user stylesheet
(containing only 'body {font-size: medium !important}' or equivalent). A
slightly more elaborate one adding e.g. td, dd, p, div, li, pre, code,
textarea to body generally falls foul also, as so many authors apply their
CSS to classes and ids instead of simply elements.
