The user could define a default font, a monospace one, one with a script style, and one standout (fantasy, I think it was called). That way the author could still have some control over the presentation, but not at the expense of my eyes.

I always thought HTML went downhill after 3.2. CSS and all the other crap removes the users control of the presentation. In a Browser I should have control (some pages I view I can't even read), however for an eBook I can see some advantages to CSS et. al.
