Am a bit confused by some info in the above article which states that either px or "no font sizing
specified at all" are the best way to go. The article states that ems are not sizeable in NN4.x.
Well, I just recently changed my stylesheets to specify ems. When testing in NN4.7, IE 5.5 and
NN6.01, a test site's pages successfully resized in all three browsers!!

Just thought I'd mention this. Did I misunderstand something here?
