Description Radu Coravu 2012-09-24 13:16:48 UTC 
According to the W3C specification:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#font-relative-lengths

using "rem" should be a valid way to specify a font size, so the following CSS 3 construct should be valid.

personnel:before{
    display:block; 
    font-size:1.0rem;
    font-weight:bold;
}

It was implemented but not yet pushed in production, now done.
