* Don't use font sizes smaller than 10pt. for the body of your page. Specify your fonts in percentage terms instead of pixels, to let users set their own size preferences using their browser's text view options.

I'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you here.
I always specify pixel sizes - why? because using pt renders inconsistently across browsers and platforms, 12pt on a mac is hugely different from 12pt on windows which again is different from 12pt rendered in a broswer on a unix platform. Pixels sizes are relative to the readers resolution and can be resized by the browser if the user so desires.
That and the w3c recommend not using pt or other absolute lengths. See
here.
