Whoops. You're right. 96 is the default.

Since I believe that the web browsers default setting _should_ be set to something legible to a user, and if there is any reason to use a different size it ought to be realitive to that, and not my own opinions of legibility.
Like I said, the default on all browsers is 16px which most of us consider to be a little too big. If you use ems, then your font-size is being set relative to the default size.

I do hope, that Google Chrome gains the ability to force minimal font sizes
The current thought on things is that the user should be in control of their display and forcing anything on them is bad. In Firefox, I think there might be an extension to force a minimum size but not sure I'm misremembering.

Keywords aren't use by many developers because IE screws them up.
