Personally, I think there should have been a companion article
explaining why designers can't write code.
This is a classic example: the whole point of setting the base font size
to this value is to make the maths easier when sizing all other font
rules; but that itself exposes the fact that the designer is still
basically designing with Pixel sizes!

Under those circumstances, I would tend to encourage the use of sizes in
percentages, after a global reset to 100%.

But then, I am a developer, and think that Design Types shouldn't be
allowed anywhere near an angle bracket - for their own good: they are
too sharp for the un-trained hand.

Hi,

Would you elaborate on why the CSS rule invalidates the article? As it
appears the authors explanation is sound.

> html {
>           font-size: 62.5%;
>         }
