Nice! BTW, I was twidling with the font-size yesterday.
I am aware that you are using font-size: 90%; I did too
initially, but now what I found what works very well is
font-size: smaller; To see the (slight) difference, you can
check out: http://tinyurl.com/6nphf for example. Notice the
slight difference in size. Notice too the improved line-spacing.
This, I guess, is the reason why someone (Deane?) observed that
the wikipedia pages have better line-spacing. And I agree.

<< BTW, to those who are hesitant to have us tweaking the sizes,
these are *relative* sizes. You still have control over them
by tweaking your browser. >>
