I've never heard the term "semantic size".
I'm not quite sure, what you want to express with using that term.
I know that each user has on each device one single ergonomic size for a specific font. For "running text" (not sure what's the correct typografic jargon in english).

Only the user knows that.
Not any producer of readers can know that.
Not any producer of eBooks can know that.

That's the simple reason, why every font-size rules in digital media for running text other than "1em" is evil.
