Ems, on the web, are not the same as in typography. 1em is equal to the current size of the current font, whatever that may be.
Really? I'm not arguing, but this is really a silly convention. An "em" has had a solid definition for 30 or more years. How is it that it was changed?

In any event, if an "em" is defined as the current point size, well, carry on. In my opinion that is silly. But my opinion does not matter in this.
