I have my minimum font-size set to 12px [1] (Gecko browser), or
sometimes 14px (when I'm tired, and really p*** by mouse type and the
need to zoom in way to often)
* No elegant way to scale the whole thing correctly in a user
stylesheet, short of rewriting the whole author stylesheet [2]: with
the 62.5% 'trick', the base for all computation will be 12px in my
case. Say I reset the font-size to 16px for a particular site (using
@-moz-document), all scaling in that author style-sheet will be
oversized, as I thing Christian explained).
* No nice way to zoom out in real time, due to the clash between
minimum font-size and the author specified miniscule base.
[1] that is my minimum font-size, below which I cannot read text. It
is _not_ my preferred font-size.
[2] user stylesheets are already a pain for the average user, image
if they have to rewrite the author stylesheet completely...
(even for me it would be serious nuisance - and I have a 3000 lines
long user stylesheet)

While in theory, I, as a user, should like that method of setting
font-size - combined with my minimum font-size is should guarantee
readable text, in practice it is a pain: many more sites break (even
some where e.g width is set to ems or the like), or quickly become
way to wide for my preferred window width.
