I should probably just hit up w3c.
Or the CSS-Discuss wiki. I found it better for finding what I needed at work when I still was doing CSS stuff for that.

Will we have to hand calculate the 36 for every variant base size, or can H1 be a relative size to the body text, and we just tweak the body?
The latter.
Why are the fonts in px?

Well, never mind my edit above then. There should be a way to do what you're saying, shouldn't there? But I don't recall the code.

As opposed to what? I had a reason. I don't remember what it was.
Thanks for that link!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I have a suggestion...
In the profile center it would be helpful to have the "OK" button at the top too. I like to change my tag a lot and it would be nice to have the button right there instead of having to scroll past all the other things just to get to the button.

Probably Netscape support.

I think you're right. Looking at that Wiki, while they tend to recommend the "Ems and Percentages" approach, it's the px approach that is most consistant between browsers.

I don't know if this helps with the speccing out or not, but for record, I'm in favour of being able to change both the font and the size; what Verdana looks good at is not Times New Roman's optimal size, etc.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate that CSS support across browsers is such a crapshoot?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just reading the section on style sheet switching, and then it got to the point of lack of support and then I cried.
Okay -- where are we:
- minimal (don't specify font -- anything else?)
- stealth (lose colours, images?)
- large (increase font sizes by how much?)
- small (drop font sizes by how much?)
- ho (no whitefont)
