This is a personal opinion(that has nothing to do with CSS, at least as
far as this list is concerned):
I have no clue what your font statement means (other than it sounds like
yet another mousetype site on the Web).
Try:
body { font: 100%/1.2 sans-serif; }
let the /primary/ content p inherit default(100%), and let the
/secondary/ content drop (using percent) to 95%, with 90% set on the
navigation.
She'll scale in IE. Children and older folks will flock to your site to
behold its wonder. And everyone else will adjust the fonts(up or down)
as they deem necessary. The purpose of typography is very simple: make
content readable. It has absolutely nothing to do with being 'cool.'
Someone else on the list will provide suggestions regarding your layout
proposal.
