Tom,
Body or HTML it doesn't really matter as it will cascade down to
everything else. I set the Percent on the Root Element and then the EM
on the Body just so that the EM font size is set as the default
everywhere vice the Percent.
Later on in what I refer to as the Core Style sheet I set every font
size that is not 1 EM to whatever I want it to be, as you have shown.
It might save you from setting all of the elements that you would like
to 1 EM, but the 100.01% will work fine. I just prefer everything to
be in EM's for consistency.
