If by "successful rendering" you mean legibility, that is not true. An author using presentational markup that affects font size typically chooses sizes based on their own display, and specifies those sizes in pixels or points. The appearance is dependent on the pixel density or pixels-per-measure of the reader's display. If authors specify font sizes in ems or percentages using CSS1, type can be sized relative to the default size used on the reader's display and legibility is assured. David Perrell
