This is a bug in Internet Explorer, in my opinion.
Although <font size="1"> would be expected to be small, <font
style="font-size: 1"> is meaningless because there is no unit on the 1. Is
it 1px? 1em? 1ex? I believe the CSS spec says that any size with no unit
must be ignored by conforming browsers (though I'm relying on memory here.)
0 is an exception - it can be unit-less since 0px = 0em = 0whatever
