Does that really summarize the collective wisdom? Logically, setting font
size to 100% or 1em is equivalent to not setting it all, assuming that no
other style sheet sets it. Due to browser bugs, they might matter. But is
this really relevant nowadays?
Moreover, why 100% in one rule and 1em in another? That sounds like
invoking _both_ the bugs in % implementation _and_ the em bugs.
As far as I know, there are fewer bugs with % than with em, though this is
of course difficult to measure.
So why not just set in % for anything that should be relatively sized, and
not set html or body size at all?
