Comment:

 In the post content area, header cells were set to `10px`, and the other
 table cells inherit `15px` from the body text.

 1. Simply removing `10px` from the `th`, as PR 8350 does, would increase
 the //default// size of header cells to `15px`. Most unexpected changes to
 the default should be avoided; however, `10px` is very small.
 2. Using `max(10px, 0.66666667em)` would make the header cells scale up
 with larger font selections, at two-thirds the size of other cells, and it
 would keep a minimum `th` size of 10 pixels if someone decreases the
 table's font size. The `max()` function [https://caniuse.com/css-math-
 functions browser support] is not perfect but probably good enough.
 3. As a compromise between the first two options, the `th` font size could
 be `0.8em` with a line-height of `2`. That honors the theme's general
 design of smaller text in the header cells, but then the default size
 would be more readable at 12 pixels. This would be an unexpected change,
 like the first option, though less of a difference and somewhat less
 likely to create a problem with long words in narrow columns.

 In widgets, all the table cells have a font size of 12 pixels by default,
 and the size scales up and down with the block setting (for Table or
 Calendar blocks).
