If text-resize icons (such as a small A and a big A) were by default in a
browser tool bar, this would help educate users that they can resize text --
and then perhaps websites using fixed-sized fonts would get some complaints
from IE users being unable to change the font size. Empower the people!

Perhaps the w3c, in addition to encouraging browser developers to adopt Web
Standards, could encourage them to adopt text-resize icons. (Does the w3c
have a Suggestions Box?)

Safari gives you the option of adding text-resize icons to tool bar. I find
this very handy -- handier than using keyboard shortcuts because when I'm
surfing on the web my hand is constantly on the mouse clicking or scrolling
away.
