I'm also going to agree with Jon here (sort of)
I honestly didn't read all of Tex' post (only so many hours in the day...
), but I definitely know of circumstances where you would want a font-size of 1.1em. This definitely would not be for the whole book, only specific sections.
For example, if the book font is generally a sans-serif and I want a section to be serif, then I'll give the serif section a slightly larger font-size. The standard serif fonts I work with tend to be slightly smaller than the sans- so I need to bump the size up slightly to even up the look.
Conversely, I will usually reduce the font-size whenever I use <strong> {font-weight:bold; font-size:.9em} (or maybe .95em) to make it fit a little better with the rest of the words.
And yes, Jon, I do use <strong> especially in things like a glossary...the term is strong and the definition is normal...I usually put it in a hanging indent.
Code:
<div class="hang">
<p><strong>term -</strong> term details</p>
<p><strong>term -</strong> term details</p>
<p><strong>term -</strong> term details</p>
</div>
...and also yes, I know that the better semantic elements would be <dl><dt><dd> but this is an example...
