While this should produce something reasonable, it will not 
necessarily be equivalent to "larger" applied twice. For such to be 
the case, there'd need to be a standard interval system between 
absolute size keywords (rather than a 'suggestion' of 1.2/1.5). The 
relative size keywords larger and smaller traverse the absolute scale.

I am still not finished with this, but I've shared enough in other 
fora that I shouldn't hesitate here, either: "Toward a standard font 
size interval system" -
