And on the other hand, I find the 0.8em to be just fine. In fact, I
set much of my font sizes to 0.75em or so. Obviously, that's what
makes the zooming functionality useful. Of course, the big problem is
that the vast majority of users aren't aware of that functionality and
therefore, don't know to adjust the zoom when they encounter a page
that is unreadable to them.

I see this as well and I believe that's because John defines all his
margins and paddings in px, which don't scale. If you want users to be
able to zoom the page, you should define margins and paddings in em or
% (though I believe em is the preferred method).
