Question about EM's

That's not a very flexible page at all from what I can see. The whole 
idea of using ems would seem to me to favor spawning horizontal 
scrollbars to keep text columns at a readable proportion. Otherwise, 
the exercise would seem worthless. Educate me if I'm wrong - and 
perhaps on my own newsgroup if this is deemed off-topic.
