It depends on what is viewed as correct. I see a readable page in Safari, but
it certainly is true that the examples are in rather small typeface and the
fact that they are readable at all is partly due to the fact that I have a high
resolution display.
Page layout and typographic design is very much a matter of opinion. My
opinion is that I can see no good reason at all for the examples to be in a
smaller type size than the body text. So I agree with Jon's change. Smaller
type should be used (if ever) for things like footnotes, but not in the body of
the page.
