Why do you have to have font sizes defined in points elsewhere in the 
style sheet? Its highly inappropriate for use on screen (not least 
because most browsing environments are not set up to handle them 
correctly), see the Wiki link at the end.

No. Although you can mix percentages and fixed units. Remember that 
relative font size units are relative to the font size in the parent 
element, not the users preference (except for the root element in which 
the parent element is the users preference).
