Browser Default Styles
04:11AM CST December 20, 2004

One thing I forgot to mention in my previous entry regarding the latest design is that I'm not specifying any styles for most elements, instead letting your browser render them using its default styles. I'm not, for example, declaring any style rules for ordered or unordered lists, blockquotes, citations, or most paragraphs [1]. A font type and relative font size are specified on body and inherited by most everything else, but you'll otherwise get whatever your browser thinks is best. Is this crazy? (All the browsers I've tested in render things reasonably.)

[1] A bottom margin on #comments dd p is the exception.
