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.
