In summary, the conclusion of the conversation today:
- There needs to be a coherent story for web developers to make a scalable site. There are currently some set of best practices, and these have dramatically changed over time, and the web community should try to settle on a single recommendation.
- There are two competing proposals:
- `font: system-body` Because this is a shorthand, it sets all the font properties to their OS-provided values. Inheritance works properly, so authors can scale their content by using `em`s and `rem`s.
- `env(font-size-multiplier)` Only exposes a single scalar, so an extra variable is needed for the OS-provided weight. Can be used in any element using `calc()`.
- Chrome and Firefox map `font-size: medium` to the user's preferred font size. The spec used to dictate this, but it no longer says that.
