You had 'html, body {font-size: .8em;}'
That equals 'html {font-size: .8em;}' = 80% followed by 'body
{font-size: .8em;}' = 80%, and the sum of 80% x 80% is around 65%.
html {font-size: 100%;}
body {font-size: .65em;}
...or any other combination that starts with percentage and ends up at
around 65%, will give you a starting-point around the 65% of normal
browser default you're aiming for. So, declaring...
html {/* no font size */}
body {font-size: 65%;}
...will end up where you started without triggering any IE/win bugs.
Side note: do I have to remind you that "starting small" makes it less
likely that the actual font size will survive 'minimum font size' in a
few browsers..?
