Thanks for reply Patrick, very interesting - looking at that I do agree that it would be 6 steps according to the latest Firefox browser.
I'm not really understanding this point very well and I'm not sure how this is measurable and testable across a wide range of platforms? What if the websites default size is set in percentage to 75% and then another website has default setting of 110%? ---> Large scale (text) Note 4: When using text without specifying the font size, the smallest font size used on major browsers for unspecified text would be a reasonable size to assume for the font. If a level 1 heading is rendered in 14pt bold or higher on major browsers, then it would be reasonable to assume it is large text. Relative scaling can be calculated from the default sizes in a similar fashion.

Any suggestions? I'd say conceptually that's quite a nitpicky argument...say a page broke spectacularly after 4 resize steps...would they then argue "but it passes WCAG 2.0's SC, because it's 3 steps that go to 200%"? Also, by default, Firefox 3 has whole page zoom (text, images and all) enabled, and has to explicitly be set to only resize text. With that said, go to about:config and look for toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues, and this will show the various zoom factors at each step. In my case (which should be the default) these are: .3, .5, .67, .8, .9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.33, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.4, 3 So, nominally 200% (which, according to the "Understanding..." bit for that SC, means "200%, that is, up to twice the width and height" - so really a 400% increase in total area) is actually 6 steps, if you want to go purely by numbers.
