3 To bound, or not to bound, that is the question
5 It's quite a reasonable request, really, and it's already been implemented
6 for HTML. That is, length bounding. It makes little sense to let users
7 define text blocks that have a font-size of 63,360 inches (that's a mile,
8 by the way) or a width of forty-fold the parent container.
10 But it's a little more complicated then that. There are multiple units
11 one can use, and we have to a little unit conversion to get things working.
22 1 ex ~= 0.5 em, though Mozilla Firefox says 1 ex = 6px
25 Watch out: font-sizes can also be nested to get successively larger
26 (although I do not relish having to keep track of context font-sizes,
27 this may be necessary, especially for some of the more advanced features
28 for preventing things like white on white).
