Firefox' default is minimum font-size set to none. But you cannot rely on the UA having a specific keyword compute to a specific font-size. In my copy of IE 6, running on XP sp2 Japanese release, IE defaults to 17px for medium, with other keywords scaled appropriately. (and that is a plain default install). IE also has a different way of scaling fonts when the user resizes the setting from the view menu. Keyword based font-settings will jump from keyword to keyword (other UA's scale by some percentage value), whereas em-based dimensions will scale based on some percentage value (20%, I think).
