Many thanks for replies. I have a partially formed view. I mention partially because until sitting down in an Edinburgh pub with a knowledgeable blind person I'd had a complete view.
I believe content comes first. It should "read" well, both in screen readers and SE bots. Accordingly, a detailed analysis of content should be taken. SEF comes next. So, taken with content the layout must create the biggest impact. I'm pleased about the suggestion of setting body top margin and height to allow for text resizing in a "header" section placed well down in HTML flow and having equal ems height setting. That dovetails with my thoughts. Finally, competent use of CSS to fulfil professional page design should fit the above two paradigms. I was unsure. The insight of CSS pros has helped a lot. Incidentally, using the foregoing technique in an experiment, together with feeds to blog repositories like Technorati, resulted within 8 hours of publication in SE front page placing in Google and Yahoo. Three separate articles on three separate days. In summary, my view so far is that as well as setting out pages CSS if used well, and perhaps different to the so called "norm" can result in improved SEO as well as good browser compatible layout. Or is there something else?
