text sizing on the web

Finally, something that I can pretend is The Answer to CSS text sizes: sane css typography: "Anyhow, I played about and found you can make a nice ems stylesheet with P text at 1.0 em, and then downsize the whole thing by selecting size in BODY with %, like 76%. It's simple, easy to change, and works for everything."

via this page from Accessible Web Typography (also, the previous page sums up relative text size units).

I've never been able to think of "solutions" based on browser as real solutions.
