I concur. for low vision users who need things enlarged, if the links re small, styled and fixed, they will not be magnifyable.

But I wanted to warn that there could be other possible situations where small links could be a bigger problem for people with disabilities than for ALL users.

For example, iPhone 3GS has this type of screen and VoiceOver screen reader. Blind users have the possibility to "discover" links, buttons and other elements by sliding one finger on the screen. Sighted users can -more or less- see the links, and even zoom in to enlarge their size, but a blind user will probably miss small links. > -- Jonnie Appleseed with his Hands-On Technolog(eye)s reducing technology's disabilities one byte at a time
