Is there a way to set the a CSS property to be explicitly the same as another CSS property?

Here is part of a stylesheet I have now:

BODY
{
margin: 5px 5px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif;
color: #000000;
font-size: 90%;
background: url("/media/images/layout/back_bluematrix.halo.jpg");
}
TD
{
font-size: 90%;
}

Now, what I would like to happen is just have TD's font-sze to be the same
as whatever the font-size for BODY is. I know I can do BODY, TD and then
list a set of styles, but the problem with that is, then my background does
not tile properly in table cells.

Any help?

It seems you're trying to serve CSS to Netscape 4. Don't do that.

Just set the basic font size for "body" (and you'd better use "100%"),
and then hide the CSS from old and stupid browsers, e.g. with the
"@import" trick.
