Lars,

It lists
\tiny = 5pt, \scriptsize = 7pt, \footnotesize = 8pt, \small = 9pt, 
\normalsize = 10pt,
\large = 12pt, \Large = 14.4 pt, \LARGE = 17.28pt, \huge = 20.74pt, \Huge = 
24.88pt
for when 10pt has been selected as the basic size option with things scaling
accordingly when 11pt or 12pt is chosen.

Thank you.

Another answer I have received is that "I think the mapping is really a 
standard
but most packages don't change them."
