Kev,

	Strangely, I got your sample CSS to work in IE 5.5. In point of
fact, however, the "font size" declaration should not work; "font size"
should be "font-size". This is apparently another case of IE's lax
enforcement of CSS rules. However, you'd be well-advised to include the dash
on all hyphenated property names -- most UAs won't be so forgiving, and with
some (namely Netscape 4), none of your properties will show up at all.
