If the program being used respects the correct default values for h?, then <h4> will give 1em.

IMHO, 100% is not as understandable as you have to know what the the what the 100% is 100% of. If you use 1em as the font size, you know it's 1em. So 120% would be 20% larger then 100%, but you still don't know what 100% translates to so how would you know what 120% is other then 20% larger then 100%?
