    If I remember well there is a bug (sorry : "this behaviour is by
design") in pre IE6 versions of IE on this specific instruction.
    The bug is either still present in IE6 or dependent on the "quirk mode"
(DOCTYPE), I don't remember.

    (Update) Google is your friend :

Remarks
  As of Internet Explorer 6, when you use the !DOCTYPE declaration to
specify standards-compliant mode, the default value for this property is
small, not medium.

  Negative values are not allowed. Font sizes using the proportional "em"
measure are based on the font size of the parent object.

  Possible length values specified in a relative measurement, using the
height of the element's font (em) or the height of the letter "x" (ex), are
supported in Internet Explorer 4.0 and later.

    I think I started from one of those two, and built up gradually from
there whenever I noticed a difference in default behavior, it's a work in
progress, and tied to my projects. I also abandoned all support for anything
older than IE6 / Mozilla / Firefox.
