There is no mention of relative sizing in the Section 508 guidelines
(see http://www.webaim.org/standards/508/checklist).

Relative sizing for layout and fonts is still something that I
recommend. You want to make your designs as "enlargeable" and
"compactable" as possible, to benefit those with low vision who need the
large text, and configurable layout.
