Is there a way to tell the browser…*any* browser: 1em = 16px and that’s that?

Or is

body

}

—with the underlying hope and assumption that 100% is understood to
mean 16px and from there the leap that 1em equals the 16pixels — all
we have in that toolkit?

   Why would you want it to necessarily be 16px? It it were, it would
   be too small for many people to read comfortably.

   In my browser, "font-size:100%;" means 22px, a good size for me to
   read easily.
