If the user a has scaled the text to be twice as large as the default a little icon can get lost
Its possible, yes. However – I could have specified the size of the image with the CSS to scale in em units. That would have given us a proportionally sized image that scales with the font size – something we can’t do with a background image… Drat – I should have made that point in the article as well ;)
