Something that has been on my mind for a while: I want browsers to have better typography defaults now, when run without any CSS. System fonts. More line height. Better responsive support. Maybe with a new <!doctype> or something?https://twitter.com/timlockridge/status/1040299818759933957 …

You mean like better bundled OS fonts? I think we’re pretty close with Segoe UI and San Francisco! A good specialized stylesheet could go a long way I’d wager.

Yeah, I think I’m suggesting they might feel good enough?

I wish those would be browser defaults instead of Times. I think typefaces, heading and body text styles should be OS-defined—a good barebones HTML doc as a baseline would be a neat idea. A style guide like this is how most good site designs are started anyway.

It would break a lot but I think W3C is too worried about how 1997 angelfire sites look on 2019 toasters.

Hence an idea of an opt-in doctype or something. I’m not sure. Sort of not my department.

I don’t know how successful <!DOCTYPE html> or "use strict" were.
