Caveat auctor!

• Expect that many properties fail to work at all, or only work in some contexts (e.g. applied to certain tags or in certain combinations), or only work in some browsers
• Rethink your <P> tags:
  <H1>Title</H1>
  some text not affected by P styles
• Attend to interaction between styles and HTML attributes:

P {color:black; text-align:right}
. . .
<P ALIGN=CENTER>I'm
<FONT COLOR=RED>Red</FONT></P>
(some authors disagree, but I say it should be right-aligned and red)

Next: beware inheritance
