Why not? Is it too big or too small for you? Or is it just not
precise enough?
If you say it's too small, then I'd accept that. There are many
who say anything below 'medium' is too small for body copy. If you
say it's too big, then I have to very strongly disagree and say
that making it any smaller, will make it very difficult or at least
uncomfortable for many users to read without increasing it.
If you ask me and my tired old eyes:
Depending on which font-family you use, font-size:small is either on
the lower limit (georgia, which is a *big* font), or really too small
for me, when used with Roman fonts.
Using the same font-size:small for Japanese fonts/text on the other
side works pretty well across the board for me, except in Camino/
Firefox Mac, which tends to smash down fonts.
