I don't know yet what IE7 will do with the pixels, but it won't
see the %, as the underscore hack isn't working in IE7 anymore.

No, I haven't tried it out. But I'd advise you to not use ems for
the font-size on body. The result is that the larger and smaller
font-size settings in IE become exponential. It's a bug of
course, but the workaround is just to use % for body font-size.
There is no problem if you then set the size in ems on other
elements though.
