why not a selection?

Font-size: [100% \/] A+ A  A-

this is one of the things that will be obsolete if the IE uses standard
compliance mode to render our page - one of the reasons why i work on
the scrollbar bug and the current fix on phpMyAdmin, at the moment the
scrollbar bug is fixed by forcing IE into quirks mode, what makes all
this trouble with CSS, the above is just one of this
