Hi Gregory
Terribly sry if I gave the impression otherwise but I am not saying that zoom
does solve all the problems - all I am saying is I want us to be cautious in
adding any functionality around this and I think we need to discuss it further.
I tend to try and look at bug reports from the other extreme with the goal to
find some compromise that suits every user. Please don't take anything I've
said personally! I see there is an issue here I'm just not quite sure what is
the right way this should be solved.

We could add a user preference for font size but if we do that it would
probably be better as a site wide preference rather than mobile. This however
has the downside in that it means only logged in user's can benefit from the
font size setting. We /can/ also limit this code to phones that need it (e.g.
iPhone)

Increasing default font size is also another option.

I'm no expert in accessibility so it would be really good to understand:
* what the exact problemis that this would be solving that zooming doesn't help
with
* what the ways we might solve it (maybe they are not simply limited to
tweaking the font size)
* What is the extent of the problem? (Which browsers do not have a font size
setting? is it just iphone users? What percentage of our iphone users are hit
by this problem?)

I've added accessibility and design tags in hope we might attract more
discussion.
