For disability accessibility, and for ordinary usage with small screens and in other adverse circumstances, it's critical that changing the size of the font and screen should not disarray the information on the screen. That's easy to overlook, because it's not part of classical graphic design. OTOH, browsers inherently support formatting text into defined areas, so it shouldn't be that hard to do well.
