Basically I agree, but in principle a fixed font size does not imply
illegibility or inaccessibility. E.g., 'font-size: 30px;' normally is readable, but
something like 'font-size: 0.1em;' will be even hard to read when using IE's
'increase font-size' function (in fact, it's impossible).


Best regards,
Jens.
