That's good to know. I guess it's not surprising; it is, however, rather disconcerting. My basic instinct is to set the base at 10px, simply so i can work in units that I'm used to. If everything is multiples of ten it makes ems a much more intelligible unit too. I guess I've been going about this all wrong all along. Better late then never, though!
