I also don't remember why I don't. It does kind of seem like a needless abstraction to use a multiple of the font-size of the html element rather than that of the element you're actually working with. If I had to guess, rems would be mainly useful for highly precise, grid- and baseline-oriented layouts, and those won't work for ebook where user controls would throw it all out of whack anyway.

I could swear that somewhere in time, we all kicked this around, but hell, it could be (gosh) 10 years ago here. I know they didn't work, but damned if I remember why. I feel like Capidamonte was the one that did all the grunty research work and that means, a loooong while ago. Coulda been Tex or...hmmm...someone. But I think someone did that work and we all said "nope, ain't gonna work" and then we shrugged and that was that.
I damn sure can't see it working on Kindles. I mean..with line-heights? OMG, the end is near, the 4th Horseman of the Rendering cometh and he rides a White Horse made of Crashing Pixels.
