I wish you could specify the x-height of a font in CSS. If you mix serif and sans serif you want them to look like they have the same size. It would have been nice if the default browser fonts were selected to have the same x-height.

There's a lot of variable typefaces that let you set the x-height, which can be controlled via CSS.
