My 2005 class notes say that IE 5 on Windows 98 needed this.
Sadly, I did not note the source of that information. :(

Not "official" - but Mark Boulton suggests a scale for font sizes,
analogous to a musical scale[1]. The scale is measured in points,
and I need to experiment more to see how this translates to screen
sizes in a way that's fairly consistent across browsers and DPI
settings etc..
I don't know if it answers your question about "official" ratios
of sizes, but hope it's of interest anyway.
