[WSG] G* addressing standards

[Bruce]

I hope I'm not out of line here, but as a webstandards group it is 
interesting that a simple matter of font size is awaiting being 
addressed by the G8 presidency team...I included this for general interest
...but at least they are aware of it.

Dear Bruce,
Thank you for your interest in the UK G8 Presidency website and bringing 
to our attention that the font size cannot be changed via the browser.  
This is an accessibility issue that we are aware of and hope to be able 
to address in the near future.

Regards,
G8 Presidency Team

Just a thought, but myself being a webdesigner focusing on 
accessability, you have fixed fonts. This means that those who have poor 
vision, even most older people cannot change the text size from their 
browser, and have difficuly reading the site, if they can even. Perhaps 
use small, x-small medium etc?

Otherwise great!
All the best from Canada
