As idealistic as it sounds, the devil's advocate counter question:
are you going to tell every single user of your site to do that in
their browser? because sure enough, if they set their size to small
by default, 70 odd percent of the other sites which use relative base
sizes lower than 100% will look too small...
Guess the devil has had too much control for too long. As always; it
becomes a mess. :-)
No sites are able to set font-size lower than the person with the
browser chooses to accept, so all this back and forth about font-size is
only a game played in front of the ignorant part of the public. The
devil loves ignorance (don't know about his advocate).
At the end of the day; all that matters is that a web page/site can take
whatever font-size the visitor chooses -- without breaking.
Define it in pixels if you like. It will still end up being the same
mess if it isn't done properly.
