Hi Paul, Snipping back in the part which you snipped out, where I asked people about their preference for a point size: On 2015-04-22 16:32, Paul Hoffman wrote: > On Apr 22, 2015, at 6:58 AM, Henrik Levkowetz <henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> I'd like to hear from other people.

I believe I was, see above, and I have no idea why you want a firefight about this instead of letting people respond to what I'd really like to hear from them about, namely preferences for point size. > and I hope you will consider following the HTML semantics more closely. ??? You obviously believe that a font size of '1em' or 'medium' is semantically more correct than '12pt'. Can you back that up? The CSS 2.1 specification is very clear about the semantic meaning of point sizes, see Section 4.3.2 of the CSS 2.1 specifcaiton. > If you don't want to use "1em", please consider "medium", which tells > the browser to use the default size it believes is best based on > defaults and configuration by the user. That's funny. 'medium' is the default setting, which is what you get with 1em. Hilarious :-D Henrik
