ah... I'm just saying don't feel compelled to provide intruction for users
on how to use their browsers.

More importantly, I know it can be very discouraging when people who could
benefit from such features don't know how to use them but don't *not* add
accessibility features (such as resizable text) just because the vast
majority of people don't know how to set up a custom font size. I don't
buy into the argument that designing for accessibility is more time
consuming than not -- there are exceptions of course, like complex tables,
but in the main it isn't e.g. writing 1em vs. 11px.

I agree with Donna that your accessibility statement was a little bit
technically focussed. Simple language is definitely the way to go.

How about renaming 'accessibility statement' to 'tips for using this site'
or something similar and talk about font sizing in there?

kind regards
Terrence Wood.
