Note the example browser config above is using:
* a smaller than normal font size setting in browser prefs
* not using page zoom

The explicit point sizes in the Vector skin override the browser's configured
font size, which is why the sizes no longer match what the user expected.

Use of relative font sizes (for instance percentages as Monobook does) would
allow for a relative adjustment against the configured base size, which should
avoid surprising the user.

(Note that full-page zoom in Firefox 3 works just fine on Vector, since it
scales the absolute sizes as well, but we should be nice to configured font
sizes as well.)
