How many of these 75% percent do need text resizing, and how many do know
that this feature exists?

Where did you get this number anyway? Only IE<7 cannot increase text size,
does it have 75% of market share? If one believes net stats all versions of IE
have market share ~67% and IE6 has less than 30%.

Frankly, it is sad to see how this "px is non resizable in IE"
nonsense became the bike-shed of the web
accessibility and way too many just stuck on this overblown "problem"
and won't move on.

As for the WCAG — I'll stuck with WCAG Samurai for a while, thank you very much.
