It's not up to designers or developers to tell people which
browsers to use ... perhaps you want to have a graphic which says
"Best viewed at 1024x768 in Opera"??! ;D
Of course it's not up to us to tell people which browsers to use -
however I think the responsibility falls on both the user and browser
vendors when it comes to providing easy access to content. The point
of the matter is... content *is not just text*. As many people cry
out that it is, it simply isn't true. Many, many times graphics are
equally as important if not the sole content. Same thing with audio,
video or any other type of multimedia.

Simply resizing the text is a far more efficient and effective
solution, IMHO
See above.
Well, there _is_ a lot more to accessibility that font-size, of
course - as I'm sure you know :D
Good quality, semantic markup is also important, for one.
Absolutely couldn't agree with you more. That's where, in my
opinion, the main responsibility of the designer/developer comes in -
with clean, semantic, valid markup a user or browser vendor has much
more flexibility and ability to make the content, in whatever form it
may be, easily accessible and usable.
