Some browsers will fail to fully or properly inherit the display settings for text specified in the Body class. The purpose of this class is to set in stone the desired display settings for text, so that less-than-cooperative browsers have no room for arbitrary interpretation of what you might have meant when you specified text display settings in the Body class.
For the best results, you should only specify values for font size and font family in this class.
Examples of elements using this class:
<p>This P tag uses the class in question</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>This TH tag uses the class in question</th>
<td>This TD tag uses the class in question</td>
</tr>
</table>
<ul>
<li>This LI tag uses the class in question</li>
</ul>
