I've always thought 10px was the smallest size to keep things web-safe platform wide. In general, that what I see accross the web (this site).
However, I have noticed alot of sites going to 9px - Anyone know of any dangers in this?
Thanks

depends on the age of your target audience.
as long as its ledgible and people can make it bigger if they need to...
try setting font-size = 62.5% on the body in ths css. then 1.0em becomes equivalent to 10px (instead of the default 16px) throughout the rest of the styles. therefore 0.9em = 9px... and everything scales nicely if needed and is 'accessible'.
