Taking just a part of your question, those who believe the user should set the type size to their own needs and preferences will set the base font size to 100% (or to 100.01% to dodge another problem) and then set everything they want the user to read easily to 1 em. Some authors do use smaller for things that can be permitted to be a bit more difficult reading like copyright declarations; I have found .7em or .8em looks about right for a fraction that is constructed using spans (with the numerator raised a little and the denominator low) when a fraction that is not available as a single character such as 9/16 or 5/32 is needed; many [css-d] list members will not like that as it involves writing inhumanly nasty-looking markup and obviously contributes to a span version of div-itis besides.
