glad to hear it... that f*cking thing has been a pain in my arse to 
get it compliant, clean, *and* have it work (most of the time) in the 
4.x and above...

ahh, those font sizes were of course samples, given the fact the 
CSS will be user-configurable... but i think you knew that...

nup, glad i could help... ultimately, building that damn thing taught 
me more about degradable CSS than i thought i could handle... 
and remember, it's compliant and thorough... what with jeff, isaac, 
dan, rudy, etc. beating the hell out of it, it's been through a good 
deal of auditing...

hope you got the latest one... it had all the comments after each 
style (/* as foobar /*, for example) so coders would know how to 
assign variables from the db...
