That's perfectly reasonable in my book. I don't believe in
specifying exact fonts, sizes, etc. via CSS. Use  in plain
HTML if you want small text and the user can configure their
browser to display it in the way that works for them. Except where
some browser makers choose silly default behaviours for some
elements, plain HTML (4.0 Transitional) works to the user's best
advantage. I do most of my browsing with CSS turned off so all that
styling nonsense is ignored.

This is all nothing to do with Linux though.
