[RFC] htmlize and htmlfontify comparison

Hello,

I'm in the process of moving Org from htmlize to htmlfontify.

I'm starting out with a low hanging fruit, which is the call to
`htmlize-buffer' in `org-org-publish-to-org'.

I created a simple Org file and published it once using htmlfontify and
another time with htmlize. I'm attaching the two HTML files obtained.

My CSS/HTML/Javascript-fu is rusty. Could someone tell me if there is
anything wrong with the result? Is it a drop-in replacement or does it
need more clean-up? 

Thank you.

Regards,

I am not keen on the css used by htmlfontify in your example output.  It
is much too specific (font-family and particularly font-size).  I would
rather have as simple a set of style definitions as possible, leaving
much of the main styling information to the viewer (my main use case for
converting to HTML is for email for some infrequent needs).  However,
having never used htmlfontify, I don't know how much control I have over
this so maybe it's a non-worry.
