I'm giving the body a 1.4em so it will be like 14px.

    Why? That's too small for me (and many other people) to read.

I'm doing this because my markup has nested sections and I can't use
section {font-size: 1.4em;} or can I?

    Why would you want to?

Hello,

I've always used body {font-size: .625em;} as a way to manage more easily the 
font-size and I was wondering if using:

html    {
font-size: .625em;
}

body    {
font-size: 1.4em;
}

will be a better solution, are there any known quirks for defining font-size on 
the html element?

 Why not: body { font-size: 100%; } ?

 That way you will use the size that the user prefers rather than one
 that is probably too small to read comfortably (87.5% of the
 viewer's comfortable size).
