A clarification: The screen shot of MSIE was inadvertently shot with the font size set to "smaller". Therefore the default font, 1 em and 100% do show the same size. If I set it to "medium" all three are the same. In Netscape, the default font is *always* smaller than the 1em and the 100% designation. Isn't this a failing of both browsers?
