As for the multiply by zero? Any unit of measurement multiplied by 0 is 0. If CSS understood furlongs, I could specify indents in furlongs but 0 furlongs is the same as 0 in any other unit of measurement from the Planck length to parsecs.

Rather oddly, I could set indents in any of the units I used and they applied which makes understanding how your statement about default values being zero was applicable to this discussion.
Again, this discussion has nothing to do with multiplication.

So, it seems that you are now agreeing with me about how omitting the text-indent rule will result in no indentation, as long as there are no other classes that would apply. If you include it with a zero value, there will be no indentation. If you include it with a number higher than zero, then there will be an indentation. Therefore, if you omit the text-indent rule, there will be no indentation, whether you include the "em" after the zero or not. I've had enough of this conversation, which has gone on way too long.
