4. Lastly, use ems for images as well. That way your entire site scales well with zooms.

I find there is something wrong/missing in that statement, as images scale with browser-zoom no matter how we define sizes. Of course no harm done in setting image dimensions in 'em', but not setting dimensions works equally well. And, in images 'width' and 'height' attributes it is pixels anyway ... if those are used to speed up page-stabilization.

Having images scale with text-size is not what I would call good practice, as that makes "text-only zooming" pretty useless for end-user.

I only define 'max-width' for images, to make sure they stay within available space regardless of screen/window/page width, and for this I use '%' of container width. The rest I leave to end-users.
