Out of habit I just always replace the above sizes with .75em and .8em and equivalent.

What is the current opinion about this?
My opinion: The majority of the text should be the BODY FONT size (and family). All else is a explicit exception (bigger, smaller, bold, italic). Technically, most paragraphs should be a simple <p> p style would set the margins and indent... for the majority of the bodies.

The stylesheet overrides this for first paragraph text, centered text... Again: Exceptions to the majority
