Ok.  So Ken and the standard say one thing, and you're saying another
-- another which seems more like what I expect.

If I say <font size="100 px">, I'm going to get 100 pixel tall letters,
right?

I can fit 6 lines of those on a 640x480 monitor and 10 on a 1024x768,
but they're still 100 px tall, correct?
