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.

As it appears the authors explanation is sound. > html { > font-size: 62.5%; > } ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
