I agree. Unfortunately though, browsers haven't always has
reasonable defaults, so people had to work around, so now it's
all pretty much screwed.
Maybe what we need is a CSS for "sane-size-defaults: on;" which
would provide a "reboot" of the whole default font sizes.
The defaults in the original browsers were set a bit large
(16px), so Safari decided to set them smaller for a while. That
sucked. Nowadays you can just set the scaling of the body to
87.5% of the default and get a reasonable size (14px).
What annoy me the most is non-promotional sites that set the body
font-family to anything but the default sans-serif (which often
happens to be pixel perfect, have good unicode support and is
legible).
