Title: Move font-size delaration to html element

Since rems are governed by the `font-size` of the html element, should we move the `font-size` declaration there? This would set up reasonable expectations for the developer (edit `font-size`, change rems) without changing any current behavior (`body { font-size: 1em }` is implied).

The original commit to add `body { font-size: 1em }` is [here](https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/commit/380c4f80d83f8bca72f315bfa6a15b0c1af5b596). It seems it was added as a developer convenience, while `line-height` needed normalization.
