I'm seeing a potential problem/clash here.  If another add-on also has 
an element called "item-description", this userChrome.css method will 
also affect that element, isn't it?  So this method is just a short-term 
solution.  We need a long-term one with a good "isolation".

On the other hand, this method is only "visible" by those who know what 
to look at.  I knew the name of that element is "item-description" 
because I have spent time digging into the code.  And even if someone 
knew the name, he/she still has to know the trick of "userChrome.css". 
This is not obvious at all. But there are thousands and thousands of 
users out there.  We could not expect everyone of them capable of 
reading the code and knowing things like that.

I don't feel doing so would bloat the dialog. Event body is like mail 
body. If it's possible for user to change mail body font size, why event 
body does not allow to do so?

I don't think we can generalize this request to other elements (like 
labels, menus, time) because other elements are "unchangeable" and 
people are used to seeing them as they are because we do not need to 
read those elements *letter by letter* to recognize them.

Take a text editor as an example, it's natural and common to see users 
changing text body font size (or even font). But if they want other 
elements, eg menu, to be bigger, this has to be changed in a system-wide 
manner.

I know we are all very busy, but let's keep the bug open for whoever is 
free to implement it.
