My understanding of font-size spec is: 100% = 1 em = the size of an "M" and that this is 16px high.
100% is the user's default font size. It could be anything from 12px to 24 px (or larger or smaller) and should be used for any body text on the page.
What I am not clear is: where do you tell the browser how large the "M" is? Is it universally understood that 1 "M" is 16 pixels high?
1em is the current font-size. -- Chris F.A.
