Why does IE 6 display font-size: medium larger than the default font?
I thought "medium" was the default.

Meaning if I remove the font-size setting below, the text is the
default in size.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>p1</title>
<style type="text/css">
body.medium {
        font-size: medium;
}
</style>
</head>
<body class="medium">

This is some text.

</body>
</html>

Is there any way to adjust the overall font size throughout the
document using one CSS property?

Someone once suggested using:

* {
    font-size: 100%;
}
body.small {
    font-size: small;
}
body.medium {
    font-size: medium;
}
body.large ...

and then redefine h1, h2, etc as necessary but IE is interpreting
"medium" as larger than the default whereas in other browsers it seems
the default size is indeed "medium".

Ideas?
