Say that I decided that on my site

	p { font-size: 8px; }

because I'm using a 21" monitor at 800x600 and I think it looks great.

Now you come along and your eyes start to bleed from the squinting.  You 
could add this to your user style sheet:

	p { font-size 14px!important } ;

but of course that would mean that EVERY 'p' would be set to that size, 
and do you want p = 14px for *every* site that you visit?

BUT since I know have this:

<body id="www-tntluoma-com">

you can refine your user style sheet to just fix P elements on my site 
by using

body#www-tntluoma-com p { font-size: 14px; }

and it will only enlarge the font size for P when you visit my site.

Say you don't want to see the h1 on top of all of my pages

body#www-tntluoma-com h1 { display: none; }

or you don't like the breadcrumbs

body#www-tntluoma-com div#breadcrumb { display: none; }


And so on....
