I've just been reliably informed that the problem with the <font size> tag
is that it doesn't display consistently across Macs and PCs, and maybe not
across some browser versions (it looks the same on my screen comparing
IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.6).
On the other hand, older browsers don't support style sheet
definitions. So, it's up to you to decide which is more important.
