It is by design. The smallest font-size one can display in Gecko is 9px. 50lb magnifying glass proved to heavy a download for most browser packages. And as Nick mentions, ultimately, as an author, you have very little control over the font-size on the user side. Most modern browser (minus iExploder) have an user option to set minimum font-size (default is none, which means, leave it to the defaults of the UA).
