Actually whether small matches 80% or not depends on browsers and
rounding and the default size and sometimes DPI too. In Gecko, the size
comes from an internal table at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/style/nsStyleUtil.cpp#117
if the default is 16px or less, but is 89% if the default is anything
larger:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/style/nsStyleUtil.cpp#199
. Take a look here to confirm and see how other browsers compare:
