I tend to agree with such suggestion: applying a percentage in the body and
then work with the remaining sizes in ems.

I have done that in here:

Do you think font size is to small?

The x-small and others are refered to as "absolute-size keywords"
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-size-props

However, x-small will vary from browser to browser (sometimes quite
different) as you can see here:

This may not be an issue. But in my opinion, if you must reduce font sizes,
applying a percentage on the body will achieve a far more consistent result
across browsers.

Again, it should be stressed that this is just my opinion. There are lots of
differing opinions out there!
