Not quite. When the font size is 9px, it creates an unnecessarily large
gap. When the font size is 90px, it's too small. And if your page also
sets font size in pixels, then that's even worse - and users who are
forced to make their browser override all of the author's font size
settings will hardly override the margin-bottom setting.

Use em, Luke. Stay away from the px side.
