Yes. Do:

> body {... font: /*11px <- mousetype on high resolution displays*/ 100% ...}

If you do set on body anything other than 100% or 1em or medium without any 
counteracting setting on your main content elements, you're in effect, even 
though you have no way to know what that
starting point actually is, telling everyone who visits that their preferred 
size is set wrong. http://www.htmlhelp.com/feature/art2.htm

Here are some pages that go into more or less detail on this concept and the 
consequences of doing otherwise:
