Was the decision on default font size actually based on research, or was
it just what they went with at the time? In any case, the main point is
that the decision is old (consider Felix's research into increasing
DPI), and unlikely to be changed.

Agreed, although I do think the 'fit to width' option (perhaps as
default) is important, otherwise it won't appear to 'work'. I.e. the
person increases the zoom, and has to scroll horizontally. without
fit-to-width, this will happen on sites that use a liquid layout, or
pixel based widths on smaller screens.
