Try the following and see if it works...

CSS

.small {
font-size: .7em;
}

XML

<p>Some text. <span class="small">SOME MORE TEXT</span>. Even more text.</p>

I have a feeling it won't work.

I use code similar to this all the time. It does work. Are you sure you've actually tried it?

BTW I think murg may have meant he uses the <small>...</small> tags rather than the <span class="small">...</span> tags. But both should work exactly the same on the Kobo if the css is

small, .small {font-size: 0.7em}
