The 'font-size' property states in 15.7: # Percentages: refer to parent element's font size This doesn't define what happens on the root element. The definition for percentages in 4.3.3 states: # When a percentage value is set for a property of the root element # and the percentage is defined as referring to the inherited value # of some property, the resultant value is the percentage times the # initial value of that property. I think it's pretty clear that these two statements are supposed to link up, but they don't. So I propose changing "parent element's font size" to "inherited font-size". ~fantasaiReceived on Saturday, 28 March 2009 10:18:59 GMT
