Yup. But you have to plan for the poor unfortunate people who still use IE. In fact now IE 7 I guess resizes the whole page, pictues and all, with the ctrl+ and - . Kudos to MS for trying I guess :)

On paragraphs of text, I would agree, giving the user the ability to resize just the text is a nice convenience. Building a layout that allows for the entire layout to be "zoomed" by increasing the font size is (a) not worth the hassle, (b), not worth the design you'll have to sacrifice to do so, and (c) just doesn't make sense. I understand that most aren't "smart enough" to do so, but if you want to zoom in, you should zoom in (whether on the browser or the OS level) and not increase the font size. Take BYU's new home page. Cool… it is completely fluid… but it is not much to look at and the usability suffers tremendously.
