Thanks to all for the great comments and ideas. I especially appreciate Roger's low-vision perspective (I'm beginning to belong to that club, as well), his development guidelines (70 - 150%) and the info on "zoom". My judgements regarding which technique to use to scale images to text-size would depend on the audience, layout requirements, how large a site, etc. If the images degrade too much by using the em method to resize them according to text size, and the site is too large to spend the time and resources creating different image versions, I think using a php-driven graphics program to create images on the fly sounds interesting. I don't think I'd want to resort to Flash, if the images are critical to navigation, because of accessibility issues (hope I'm not opening a can of worms with that comment). A non-flash site would most likely have to be created anyway. If the site is small enough to make it practical, I think a good solution for today is to create links to small, medium or large font and image style sheets, if the audience warrants. Scaling the image text headers so that they look okay with reasonably large or small text without allowing the browser to resize and distort them would require the least amount of hassle--simplicity is often the best solution. For the background-image, I think using a regular image along with z-index to place it behind the text and using the em method to resize it along with the text-size might work if the image doesn't have too much detail (say a ghosted one) and doesn't degrade too much when browser-resized. As for using SVG's in the future--I can't wait!!!
