 * Check the Reset section of style.css. There’s a bunch of stuff out of place here,
   starting with a, abbr, etc.
 *     ```
       html {
       	font-size: 62.5%; /* 10px */
       a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
       del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
       small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
       dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
       fieldset, form, label, legend,
       	overflow-y: scroll; /* Keeps page centred in all browsers regardless of content height */
       	-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* Prevents iOS text size adjust after orientation change, without disabling user zoom */
       		-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201012/controlling_text_size_in_safari_for_ios_without_disabling_user_zoom/ */
       }
       ```

 * Could you explain what specifically you see as the issue? Those are defaults 
   for the theme that are intentionally set following the zeroing-out in the previous
   portion of the stylesheet:
 *     ```
       html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
       h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
       table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
       	font-family: inherit;
       	font-size: 100%;
       	font-weight: inherit;
       	font-style: inherit;
       	margin: 0;
       	padding: 0;
       	vertical-align: baseline;
       	border: 0;
       	outline: 0;
       }
       ```

 * Kathryn,
 * Yes, I understand the reset. However, if you look at the code above, the styles
   for html includes a snippet of the reset that isn’t supposed to be there. On 
   line 45, you’ll see that
 *     ```
       a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
       del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
       small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
       dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
       fieldset, form, label, legend,
       ```
   
 * has been inserted into the styles for **html** between lines 45 and 49: these
   lines should be inserted into the reset block above it, between lines 30 and 
   32. (V. 1.0 is correct, 1.0.1 has the error).
 * So, this is incorrect:
 *     ```
       html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
       h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
       table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
       	font-family: inherit;
       	font-size: 100%;
       	font-weight: inherit;
       	font-style: inherit;
       	margin: 0;
       	padding: 0;
       	vertical-align: baseline;
       	border: 0;
       	outline: 0;
       }
       html {
       	font-size: 62.5%; /* 10px */
       a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
       del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
       small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
       dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
       fieldset, form, label, legend,
       	overflow-y: scroll; /* Keeps page centred in all browsers regardless of content height */
       	-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* Prevents iOS text size adjust after orientation change, without disabling user zoom */
       		-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201012/controlling_text_size_in_safari_for_ios_without_disabling_user_zoom/ */
       }
       ```
   
 * And this is how it is in v. 1.0:
 *     ```
       html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
       h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
       a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
       del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
       small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
       dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
       fieldset, form, label, legend,
       table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
       	font-family: inherit;
       	font-size: 100%;
       	font-weight: inherit;
       	font-style: inherit;
       	margin: 0;
       	padding: 0;
       	vertical-align: baseline;
       	border: 0;
       	outline: 0;
       }
       html {
       	font-size: 62.5%; /* 10px */
       	overflow-y: scroll; /* Keeps page centred in all browsers regardless of content height */
       	-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* Prevents iOS text size adjust after orientation change, without disabling user zoom */
       	-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201012/controlling_text_size_in_safari_for_ios_without_disabling_user_zoom/ */
       }
       ```

 * Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I’ll get this reported to the developers
   so we can get it fixed up in the next version.
