After reading a well-known css author's statement in his brand-new book
that keywords worked best for him, I just went the keyword way
(including the Tan hack for Windows/IE) using small as the base font,
with all the rest specified in %. (http://www.birchhillaccommodations.com/)
Got comments
Hi,
So would is this the solution to the original problem:
div style=font-size: 0.90em;
Some text
div style=font-size: 0.80em;
More text
/div
Some text
/div
or an aside?

So, using keywords, what happens when a user sets his/her
browser pref. to
'small', and an author specifies 'medium'? Is the users text
size changed?
A user doesn't choose between small/medium/large as their preference.
They'd set what size they want their 'medium' to be
because they will not go beyond
the 9px mark when using keywords.

If you are using em with font-size is there is a way to clear the font-size
of a box element (stop the inheritance)?I am having a hard time
explaining myself so maybe an example would be better.
So if you have this code, the More text would be 0.80em relation to the
0.90em.

Hi,
Maybe something like:
div#something *{
font-size: 0.9em;

No, not really.
I normally get around this by only setting font-size in two places, as

That's the quickest way of producing an ever decreasing cascade of font
sizes for every level of nesting you have within div#something...so not

You can safely use ems as long as your highest font size is something
else, like %.
For instance, as long as you have something like
