@faceless2 If we could distinguish inherited font-size vs explicitly set font-size, maybe that would work? Like maybe:
- `initial-letter` sets some inheritable font-size multiplier which is part of the computed value of `font-size` (which is now a tuple, a length and a multiplier, with the length as the basis of `1em`)
- When `font-size` inherits, or is set to a percentage, the multiplier inherits also.
- When `font-size` is set to a `<length>`, the multiplier is reset to 1.

(To help with terminology, we can say the "computed font size" is 1em, but the "used font size" is 1em&times;multiplier.)
