Re: [css-d] em vs. px vs. pt vs. %

So is there a problem with setting an absolute font size for the 
major parent tags that enclose text, and then using the em relative 
sizes to fine tune font size? For example:

p, td, li, a, table, body { font-size:12px; 
font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; }
h1 { font-size:1.4em; }
h2 { font-size:1.2em; }
.size08 { font-size:0.8em; }
.size09 { font-size:0.9em; }
.size11 { font-size:1.1em; }

... etc..
