Failure!

Quoting from that URL:
[begin]
Size: respect the users' preferences, avoid small size for content

    * As a base font size for a document, 1em (or 100%) is equivalent to
setting the font size to the user's preference. Use this as a basis for your
font sizes, and avoid setting a smaller base font size
    * Avoid sizes in em smaller than 1em for text body, except maybe for
copyright statements or other kinds of "fine print."[end]

That URL's recommendation is quite clear to me, and the current styling
doesn't comply with either bullet point.
