One nitpick: I'd use 'em' instead of 'ex'. Some browsers have poor support for 'ex' (treating 1ex= 0.5em, whatever the font in use, no questions asked) - IE running on XP, Opera. Some browsers have half broken support - with very different computation of what it should do/be (WebKit on every OS). Some browser have reasonable (IE8 on Vista& Win 7) or fairly good (Gecko 1.9+, all platforms) support for ex. This leads to completely unpredictable results.
Yes, I agree that there are good pragmatic reasons for using "em", but strictly speaking, "em" is a horizontal measure whilst "ex" is a vertical one, so I prefer to use "ex" in vertical contexts for that reason.
