CSS has higher precident then presentational markup. If an element has
a style and some presentational attribute, the style will win.

A size 4 font is not a header, its just a big font. And is obsolete in
the face of CSS 1 (which is just a few months off being a decade old).

If it is a header then the markup should be:
<th>some header line!</th>

It is a table header not table data, and boldness and font size are
presentational (and should be handled in the stylesheet).

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html is a handy index of
all attributes in HTML 4.
