 * First time with this one…absint is usable, but this is for absolute numbers, 
   not decimals.
 * I have an output from a customizer range slider control (decimal values), but
   to output the value in an inline stylesheet, I’m curious if this line is correct,
   or is there an alternative for escaping?
 * `$site_title_font_size = floatval(get_theme_mod( 'site_title_font_size' ));`
 * or…
 * `$site_title_font_size = floatval( esc_attr(get_theme_mod( 'site_title_font_size')));`
 * or…?

 * You can certainly write it that way. I don’t see a problem with it right now.
   The crucial thing is that you escape the $site_title_font_size variable in the
   output (via echo, presumably), which is not visible in your code right now.

 * Thanks for the reply! Just earlier, I realized I needed to move the escaping 
   as late as possible, so I had done that.
 * Regarding the `floatval`, I can now at least get the decimal value outputted 
   in .25 increments.
