I'm not a fan of inline styling or piling up values. I've worked
with stylesheets since "Designing Killer Websites" by Dave Siegel;
having quickly embraced the need for the separation of style and
content and behavior.
This I hope lends some validity to my dedication of furthering web-
standards, as it appears sometimes in question.

Generally I tend to think its 'bad typography' to have different sizes
all over the page.
In the rare case where this was what I actually wanted to achieve, I
would set the "0.80em" value to 0.9em in the knowledge that 0.9 * 0.9
is 0.81 and thats the value I wanted.
You can't reset the tree, but you can understand what changes as you
descend it.

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.
<div style="font-size: 0.90em;">
Some text
<div style="font-size: 0.80em;">
More text
</div>
Some text
</div>
Is there a way to reset the font-size on the second div so the
0.80em is
actually 0.80em relation to the body of 1.0em without having to
code like
this?
<div style="font-size: 0.90em;">
Some text
</div>
<div style="font-size: 0.80em;">
More text
</div>
<div style="font-size: 0.90em;">
Some text
</div>
Thanks,
Janelle
