The BBC's site is a good guide -- they did tons of usability research, I understand, so the odd time that I get asked by a client about the size of text on their site, this is the site I refer them to. BTW, this also looks to be the same size as that used on the WSG site.
I find that 82% on the body tag with nothing necessary for the p tag (isn't 1em the default) gets Opera and other common (ok, Opera isn't common) browsers to produce the same size text, though I can't be sure what I see on a Mac is exactly the same. But the proportions in the sites look the same, as far as I can see.
