Besides the advice to use "font-size: 100%;", notice how the page flows
as you adjust your browser window width.

While I like proportional scaling of webpages, I'm no fan of
flexible-width text areas. Text in wide blocks is frequently difficult
to read, therefore I tend to limit the width of text blocks to - say -
50 or 60em.

But the width of the text block isn't your problem - it's effectively
decided by individual users viewing the web site with their preferred
window size, their preferred font size, and their preferred monitor
display settings. I'm not saying you shouldn't set a maximum width
if you really _want_ to, just pointing out that you don't really _need_
to.

I can see limiting the minimum width, however - things can get a little
too funky that way!

(And there's a useful script within the Skidoo 3-column layout
example that lets you persuade IE to respect it...)
