If you set no font-size on the body and 90% on the primary content p selector, the content p will render 10% smaller than default, while everything else will render at default. And so on. The precise measurement of what default font-size is, in out-of-the box operating systems and individual browsers, is a science in and of itself. For the sake of argument, these are crudely equivalent: 100% 16px 1em medium
The one thing to be aware with em's is the ie font resizing bug [1].
