isnt that what 'em' is?, surely, the dimensions of the letter 'M' in the
current text, I dont feel I should have the rite or option to explicitly
specify the exact size of font for a user, who am I to override thier
preferences? small, large etc are there for just this. 

My fiancee has visual difficulties and here we have firefox and Ie set to 
ignore style sheet or html font parameters, it works very well for her and myself. 

Think of how inaccessible XMMS is if you cant read small text or have a monitor
with crappy contrast, it's the same sort of thing.
