Of course...

I have run into a few situations where IE/win unexpectedly could resize
pixel-based fonts, and the use of relative keywords further in is the
only way I've been able to replicate that.

I've also noted keywords as a way to trigger, or re-trigger, the 'em
font-resizing bug' in IE/win...

I have not studied it further, since I haven't had any use for, or
actual problems with, this behavior in a real-world scenario.
