Just an idea, why not specify the font size as 'em' when redefining the
<body> tag in the stylesheet (maybe set as 0.95em) and then setting the size
of all other text as a % of this (is this method valid?).
For example, the <h1> could be set to have a font size of 130% of the
default font size, <h2> set as 120% etc. Smaller text where needed could be
set to something like 90% etc.
This may get rid of the inheritance issues. Thoughts?
