Actually it won't be later on that it happens. Browsers round
differently, and even 13.6 returns different sizes depending on browser:

Tested in the customary WinXP 96 DPI @ 1024x768:

IE6 - 85% is same as 14px, but 13.6px is same as 13px
Gecko 1.8 - both 13.6px and 85% same as 14px, larger than 13px.
Opera 8.51 - both 13.6px and 85% same as 13px, smaller than 14px.
Konqueror 3.4.2 (Mandriva Linux 2006)  - both 13.6px and 85% same as
13px, smaller than 14px.
