Scott,

Generally speaking, your fonts scale well. That is to say there is 
little problem for those who may, for whatever reason, wish to view and 
read the text of your site at a larger size than you have specified. And 
that is good!

If user default can said to be 100%, you've reduced what they prefer by 
specifying 80% on the body (or 20% smaller than they /may/ prefer). This 
is /sometimes/ problematic for users who are using monitors at a higher 
default dpi or screen resolution than your monitor [1]



[1]
body {

    font-size:80%;
   }


A nice touch, /and this is a personal opinion/, would be to give all 
users default [2]

[2]

body {

    font-size:100%;
   }

Best,

~dL
