For Gecko 1.9, I'd like to try to make the font size preferences meaningful. Every time there's a discussion about font size preference user interface, the argument for hiding it is that it usually doesn't have any effect. But this is critical for making the Web usable for many older users, especially since many young Web designers set font sizes on pages according to their preference rather than using the user's defaults. It's also going to become more important for high resolution displays.
David, have you seen Hixie's proposal for better font face/size choosing, browser font usage, etc.? A lot of his points and proposals sound very similar to what you're saying here, if my memory serves (it's been a few weeks since I read it).
