Otherwise the formating would depend on the browser and the screen resolution, that is very bad.
I always considered it to be a Good Thing (tm) that each browser adapts the HTML code to its own screen resolution. Isn't this one of the big features of HTML-formating?

    You're absolutely correct. One of the most important features of HTML is that (when used properly) it degrades gracefully when circumstances on the viewing end aren't what the coder expected. That means it should look good in, and maximize appearance for, as many different environments as possible.
