For reference I think it refers to the "CSS Reset" methodology ...

font-size:62.5%;
Why? All popular browsers has default font size equal 16px. If we set
font size equal 62.5% then font size is equal 10px at screen (but not
set 10px, IE6 not resize this rule). Now we have 1em = 10px, so
1..1em=11px etc. It is easier way to calculate font size.

As far as the AAA controls, the easiest way I've seen to do this
is to
have alternate style sheets for each font size, then use
javascript to
switch between them. I'm hoping you have a few sites to refer to and
figure out the logistics of it all, but that's the basic concept.
Changing the font-size of the body has no effect on text within td
elements. Changing the font-size on td elements has no effect on form
input elements like buttons. Etc, etc, etc. This problem can't be
*that* hard. Is there really no better way to control font-size of
all
page elements simultaneously?
Just make font-size jump the table boundary using:
table { font-size: inherit; }
Tom, your tip about 62.5% is one I've never run across before. Nice!
I think the best (as in, most comprehensive) way to go about this is
to put in the work and create multiple stylesheets. For all but the
most simple and flexible of designs, increasing the font size will
crowd or break some design elements.
It's much nicer for visually-impaired users to see a properly
proportioned design at the largest size, rather than giant text
squeezed into standard-size columns. You can also replace images that
need to be larger, tweak icon sizes, etc.
