This is already in the works for mobile and I as well as others consider this a current WCAG failure.

Hi Wayne and all,

Thank you for your post. The larger font size is fine for me. Your draft  seems like a very good start to me.

Will we be drafting Low Vision WCAG Techniques? After noticing a tweet from the  European Blind Union (“The voice of 30 million #blind and partially sighted people in Europe”) Bruce Lawson  posted the following which may be the basis for a low vision  or a mobile
technique:

"yes, please use viewport meta to make content responsive. But don’t muck around with maximum-scale, minimum-scale, and user-scalable properties, as these restrict zooming."
