Normally: yes.
However, there are cases where a font-size declared on html and/or body
is disturbing, so then the base font must be set on an element further
in - maybe a wrapper-div just inside body, where _all_ children inherit
it before we eventually give them their own font-size to make them
smaller or larger than 100%.
One such case is when I need to detect IE/win's own, internal, font-size
with scripts, in order to write workarounds for one of its many
weaknesses. Then I can't set font-size on html and/or body at all, or
else I will only detect my own value.
