I think that the point of this discussion is partially missed, making font size scalable is not just about making a site accessible for people with special needs - it benefits everyone! Consider this scenario:
Acme Company hires Zippo Web Dev to create their website Zippo decide 8px Arial is really funky for the main text - sells Acme on the idea. Site is launched, looks beautiful. John Doe has no disabilities, accesses site, can't read text, his options: Leave site, never to return Tell all his friends what a crappy site it is Email Acme to complain If the information is critical to JD, consider legal complaint under Disability Discrimination Act. Do you think Acme would hire Zippo again?
