Exactly the point. Developers debate this font issue endlessly - most
users don't even realize IE has menus. I've never met a non-developer
who knew what a sytlesheet was. Too many techies worry about picayune
minutia that matters only to other techies.

The same rule applies to page width arguments. A business web site is
a marketing tool for business, you want it to have the appearance you
design it for - not to have a technical design that makes techies
drool. Suggesting that it needs to resize endlessly to any browser
width is like suggesting that an architect's building design should be
able to be optically stretched to fit on any lot... just let all the
windows, doors, walls, plumbing, heating, etc all stretch to a smaller
or larger lot size.
