I'm not arguing that there aren't people who dislike that styling - don't care - and that you prefer something different wasn't the point... the point was that you can style the entire paragraph to overcome some of the issues people were having with dropcaps.

I wasn't trying to tell them what app/device to use - I just don't like limiting my creativity because someone out there uses an outdated device with broken functionality... If they get to the point where they are tired of their books looking like crap then they can get a standards compliant device (or put enough pressure on their device/app manufacturers to put out an update).
If you were going to sell an eBook with your code, you would have to test it with an older version of ADE/RMSDK because if it's available in ePub, it could be read on a Kobo in ePub using an older version of RMSDK. The pseudo classes won't work. They will if the eBook is being read as a KePub.
