But what would be wrong with that? By using em, my tables are indented the same as my poems and blockquotes, so everything looks nice and consistent -- and if people changed the font size, then everything changes the same.

On the other hand, if I used % to indent the tables, even if I get it looking "similar" to how I've indented those other bits of text in, say, landscape mode, then that will change when I go in portrait mode (or by changing between one-page or two-page landscape) and then things won't be consistent. At least with em, everything looks nice and consistent.

Wouldn't that make more sense?
