you do know that if you think a 5% margin is too large, you can change it to 3%, or whatever you like, right ? that's got nothing to do with the unit of measurement. (5% seems pretty minimal to me, personally ; but i know you like a really tiny margin, and i don't.) do you have a reason for not using % for margins, or is it just a question of how many percent to use ?

i'm only talking about margins, here ; em is an excellent choice (the best choice, in fact, in my opinion) for indent size, for exactly the same reason it's a poor choice for margins.
