My job is to make a web application/site as useful to the audience
as possible; taking them out of their task flow is *not* helpful,
in the sense that it does not facilitate their achieving *their*
immediate goal.

In circumstances where I've implemented an integrated font size
changer, the *user* response has been entirely positive.

And in a perfect world, sure, all users would know how to use all
the available features of their chosen browser. And on the day it
happens, web developers everywhere will rejoice and turn unto one
another, and exclaim, "Dude, that is *so* sweet!!". Until then...

Poor implementation doesn't invalidate a concept :-)
