I've used that for quite a while and it works fine across the board. At least 
it never blew up in my face :-)

One nitpick: I'd use 'em' instead of 'ex'.

Some browsers have poor support for 'ex' (treating 1ex= 0.5em, whatever the 
font in use, no questions asked)  - IE running on XP, Opera.
Some browsers have half broken support - with very different computation of 
what it should do/be  (WebKit on every OS).
Some browser have reasonable (IE8 on Vista & Win 7) or fairly good (Gecko 1.9+, 
all platforms)  support for ex.

This leads to completely unpredictable results.
