Zooming is present on the majority of modern browsers, so where does

the lower browsers that do that?
I've been out of the scene for a while, so I've lost touch with the
current practices and conventions.
For me, accessibility is not about zoom or font sizes or "lower
browsers" (whatever TF you mean by that) - it's about creating sites
that all users can use regardless of their personal capability or
available technology. That means on PCs, Macs, *nix, text browsers,
screenreaders, mobile phones, portable web appliances, even fridges.
The principles of good standards-based coding say "write it once - style
as necessary". And also "let it degrade gracefully".
Never ever get hung up on what new browsers can do - always code as if
everyone's still on Mosaic ;-)
