Okay, I reread it and realized that the scaling factor did not mention any
unit, and that the example was just an example unit. However, I don't see
the usefulness in making a chart, when the size varies across browsers and
browser versions. For example, "medium" in Mozilla 1.0 equals "small" in
Opera 5.12/6.05 and IE5.5. Notice the difference in the rendering of the
"absolute" font size on the following test page in different browsers (NN4
is obviously using a different scale factor).
