The Base Stylesheet: "The 'consensus default' rendering of all HTML 4.0 elements in Mosaic-derivative Web browsers (Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer). It is intended as a basis for editing or "cascading in" other stylesheet modules, an informative reference, a complement to the HTML 4.0 specification, an exercise in stylesheet architecture, and a browser testing tool. The Base Stylesheet captures the status quo in order to move beyond it."
