Given the rather unintuitive and sometimes ambiguous (or wrongly implemented) definition of "px" in CSS, I'd say it's better to use a really absolute unit (like "mm") in those cases. Even so, "mm" is sometimes not correctly implemented either.

Jon is of the opinion that you don't need a bottom margin, because the text will often not reach the bottom edge, as it only displays full lines. Of course, that doesn't mean it cannot reach it. Only by adding a bottom margin will you prevent it, and the margin should not affect the cases where the text wouldn't reach the bottom anyway.
