The reason I disagree is that you're changing the user's ability in choosing fonts from an ordinary option to a top-level option. That's a fairly big hammer. Most people have already configured their browsers with what they think is a fairly good font for reading generic text. There's nothing particularly special about our documentation that gives us knowledge they didn't have when they made the choice. The equation is different for people who don't know that they *can* change their browser font settings at all. I wouldn't have thought that there were really that many such people in the grand scheme of things, but I'll admit that this discussion does seem to cast that assumption into question.
