While I agree with your general sentiment, I have to say I find the assertion that all people aged 35-40 or more are "for all intents and purposes [...] web disabled and [...] in immediate need of web accessibility" questionable, to say the least.
I really don't see what anyone's visual acuity has over the issue of font sizes. We have absolutely *no way* of knowing the size of text that shows up on a visitor's browsing device. Any assumption of "too big" or "too small" is a crap shoot. The only assumption we *can* make is the likelihood that a visitor can read text at their device's default - and even that is not completely certain. What on earth is the problem of specifying "font-size: 100%;" and using that for the main text? I really can't see how that leads one to "spend countless hours to code around the issue," as one contributor maintains. Sorry to add to the noise. This is - or should be - a non-issue in today's world of iPhones and 32 inch desk monitors.
