I use em for all measurements (except images).
So those column widths are not 200px but 16.7em.
With a fixed width page (60em) long lines of text ie 80+ characters per line are 
difficult to read.

Use a little bit of javascript to set the inital font size (and everything elses size)
76% for screens under 1000 pixels wide and 101% for screens wider than 1000 pixels.  
(OK that will upset a few people, but we are working on the great unwashed masses who 
do not know or care how to change font sizes) and no JS means 76%.  
Give people the opportunity to change font sizes with buttons A+ and a- (+10% and -10% 
respectively) and that info is held by a cookie (again an evil bit of javascript ;-).
