Yes, I noticed that. However that's not really pertinent to the
question — this page isn't intended as anything other than an example
of the positioning effects I described in the original post:
specifically, why the lowest-nested elements in method b are taking
their margin-top of -50% to be relative to their grand-parents'
measurements and not their relatively-positioned parents.

Did you refresh the page? I modified the styles to use em-sizing, so
your custom font-size should be less of a distraction.

Just to be clear, what I'm interested in is how to center inline
content within a fixed-height parent. The typography etc on this page
isn't particularly appealing (I'm getting Georgia over here and it's
doing my head in — what was I thinking?! ;), but the page's sole
purpose is for illustrating the box model problem mentioned above.
