Guys, Svend Tofte looked at this a while back and came up with a fix for the CSS property max-width for IE (you can read that article here: <http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/> ). He did find a good source which suggests that particular sizes of line sizes benefit readers (different lengths for different ages of readers), that can be found here: <http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/42/text_length.htm>. I personally don't see this as a huge issue as people using the technology properly will facilitate users wanting to control their line/page width with CSS. David is of course in his assessment of course and Svend does provide some suggestions on how to calculate the width you will need to correspond with the ems size you use.
