OK, I'm sure we'd all agree that inconsistency is a Bad Thing [tm], but which if these are you advocating be adopted ? Speaking for myself, and bearing in mind the importance of accessibility, I would advocate the use of either "em" or "%". OTOH, although the first reference does indeed use the term "absolute", it also makes it very clear that these are only "absolute" w.r.t. "medium" which is the user's preferred font size for normal text, so in most people's minds these might well be considered "relative", but relative to a base size rather than to an inherited value. On that basis, the first reference does seem preferable, IMHO.
