The default font-size on modern browsers is 16 pixel which is overlay 
large imho, - a waste of space. Screen fonts are usually 12px(75%), 
13px(81.25%;) or 14 px (87.5%). I agree that 75% is too small for normal 
text and should be reserved for  annotations etc. I usually use 81.25% 
for normal text. That all depends on fonts, colors, line-height etc. but 
13 or 14px usually fit.

In this case I'd also prefer a stretchy layout.

A bit OT I think...
