Not quite. Because, though I am not saying it is not a good idea
to set base to 100%, it is a complicated matter. For a start,
visitors do not see fonts set to 100% in their preferred size
because the notion of a visitors "preferred size" is not a simple
matter. I have banged on before about this. But I don't blame
anyone for not noticing. However, there is a small price to pay,
you miss a pearl of my wisdom. It is a pity because I have not
too many of these in my bag.
Naturally I would prefer you not to agree with people on alt.html
before checking my writings on the matter. But what can I do?
