Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this line is out of date in the body{} section.

font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.231

The corresponding line from the current version of css is:
font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4

Proposed Change:

Set the base font size to the default font-size in browsers (16px) and line height to 22px. Using ems or % units allow text resizing in IE6/7.
