    o0o: it's a good idea, but the tranlation of those values is different amongst browsers...going from memory here, but it's something along the lines of Netscape and IE having a different opinion of "small" thus render them differently.

    It's only really a problem if you're fixing your page widths and are relying on a fixed layout...if a user makes their text HUGE it may have adverse effects on the page layout...

    especially when you use Text / CSS in your navigation system; in this case you are usually limited to one line height and wrapping may be an issue

    I think I saw some javascript somewhere that makes these terms browser ambiguous...but I decided to just stick with pixels
