The reason is when you use pixel sizing { font-size: 12px; } the most
popular browser like object, Internet Explorer, will not allow visitors
to change size, should they be vision impaired, or you pick something
too small for even people with normal vision. The solution is
{ font-size: 100%; } Assign slightly larger percentages for <Hx>
elements, and slightly smaller for legalese (85-90%).

That's it.
