This size should be clearly legible to anyone with good eyesight and it provides a line measure of around 56 characters, which is close enough to the ideal of 66.

Are you sure about this?
I never set the base font size in my CSS files, so I assume that the text will be displayed at 1em. But if I set some text to have a font size of, say, 80%, it displays it at 80% of what I assume is the base font size.
