I'm having a hard time imagining the "my mother" users wanting to
manage all of their prefs for each individual site visited. That's
not easy to use either. The reason there's a pref to set a minimum
font size is that it does what the vast majority of people would need
in an extremely simple way.
My point was simply that for the advanced users who actually want to
tailor each site individually to their liking, there's already a way
to do it.

Interesting... yes, I do use the "minimum font size," but while I
think I might have seen it change one site, once, maybe 2 years ago;
most of the sites I need it to work on for the past year at least I
see it not working at all. I consider it a largely bogus pref because
it seems to not do anything like it promises. It DOES take text I can
easily see and makes it larger... it just has no effect on text in
the 6-8 point range.
As for using a css file, I guess I'm not "advanced" enough... I
understand the purpose of such a file, but do not know how to make
sure it only changes one specific thing for multiple specific sites.
You mention "to your liking;" no, it isn't a matter of taste, it's a
matter of a users ability to access information in an efficient
manner. To have to be hitting up and down font size keystrokes or
toolbar buttons means there's less time for reading.
And that gets to a larger question... exactly who Camino is intended
for. If necessary features are to be left only for those with
significant programming backgrounds, it seems the potential market
gets a significant reduction. I'd suggest you think of the "my
mother" users as everyone who does not have "significant programming
backgrounds."
