As from my experience, changing the em can be avoided for "inner" HTML
containers (that would indeed result in separate size calculations for
containers even further inside). If the concept is known from the very
beginning.

The result would have to be, that the one(s) who create the CSS have to
be aware of the whole layout using em units and would know that
adaptions of font-size has to been done very carefully and only for
elements, that would have no inner layout elements inside.
