I definitely agree that unteasing these definitions is a good idea. In particular I like the idea of generalising the formulae in calculating relative font sizes.

Frank did mention to me in Brazil that the relsize package has some quirks in that the font size transformations aren’t always reversible — stepping up then down again could lead to a non-zero difference in font sizes. I agree with him it would be important to avoid this kind of imprecision...

Sorry I don’t have too much more to say than that it sounds like you’re on the right track!

Regards,
Will
