Then don't specify font size on tags, only on ID selectors (as is being
done in mythweb).  To set the font for the body of a page, encapsulate the
page in a <div id="main-body"> tag, then set the CSS selector to:

#main-body { font-size: 80% }

That way you never have to worry about nested tags - there can be only
one... with a given ID.
