if resizing text breaks the design, why the hell allow it? There are tons of sites out there that use EMs and dont even take into consideration how atrocious their site looks if people increase the text size.
different websites have different audiences. Case in point is all these "cool" flash sites out there that even I can't read, they are so tiny.
If you are trying to do a cutting-edge design that focuses on a specific audience that ain't blind - I don't see why you cannot force a variety of text-sizes. Typography is an art too - print designers can use type to add to the design - we can't?? I love using EMs for certain kinds of sites - but it has it's place like anything else. It's a tool, not a rule.
Which goes to show how many site are poorly made... And I made one of those Flash site. I think it’s legible, though. We are replacing it soon. ;-)
