  This will really only help with well-written author stylesheets.  I
haven't done a sampling, but if anybody has, I'd be interested in the
percentage of sheets that actually _use_ relative font sizing versus the 'I
want this 26pt, dammit' philosophy.

  The default stylesheet in Emacs/W3 uses relative font sizing specifically
so I don't go too far from what the user wants as their default Emacs font
anyway.
