More importantly though - scaling the button up or down while keeping it exact visual appearance typically requires readjustment of its accentuating details - the transparency %ages, stroke weights and colors and what not. This effectively renders the very idea of CSS buttons void - they can be scaled, but it will distort them, so the scaled up/down versions are basically no good.
