Seems to me that has to be a judgement call. Since 12pt is the size most real web using people prefer, a site probably should accomodate somewhere between 150% and 200% of that at least, somewhere between 18pt real and 24pt real. With typical sites trying to cram as much as possible above the fold in an area less than 800px wide, 24pt may be unrealistic in many or most cases, yet something to try and shoot for anyway. If a site you're working on is one of those 76% or 12px body sites, probably 200% should be minimum. That nets 150%, typically 18pt nominal. -- "All have sinned & fall short of the glory of God."
