Maybe I should give some background.  I've seen at least one bug report 
so far against Gecko (and a similar one claimed to be filed against 
Opera) because of the fact that in this one instance "rem" refers to the 
default size, not the root element size.  It's not something web authors 
expect, and I think calling it out in an example would prevent a good 
bit of frustration in the future....
