If you like this sort of thing, the combo of Bringhurst’s book on typography + Duckett’s on HTML/CSS, plus lots of time on these forums, will get you far.

1.2em for the indent. 1em for a line space. 1.5em for left/right in a blockquote for the offset text. I don't do anything in multiples of 0.6/1.2em. It just does not work (IMHO). It uses extra space.
