I had been using ems for all of my font-sizes, but having a single
baseline: html { font-size: #px } and having all of my fonts relative to
that baseline. Perhaps it does make sense to allow the user to set the
baseline, but to do so invites some trouble.
So should the vast majority of my vertical heights be in ems, and my
widths in exes, max-widths in percentages and max-heights be unset?
This seems to me the only way to make a truly liquid layout work in all
browsers, but add some images and you get a nightmare.
Would a good solution be to use fixed-size elements: inches, centimeters
and points? I'm not sure how I feel about that either, nor how well it
is implemented in most browsers.
