Yes, this would be the best. Web site provides the content and the browser (user agent) decides how best to render it, potentially different than how the web developer would want it.

And that was the original goal. Sadly, the marketing people won and turned the web into a glorified magazine delivery service.

Remember when browsers supported user styles out of the box and put them in a somewhat discoverable location?

I remember users setting their default font sizes to 30px, then complaining when they hit the one piece of text on a website with an undefined text size.

User-defined formatting hasn't worked since CSS was introduced.

Works for me much better than CSS. HN sets font size to 10pt, any user setting is better than that.
