The problem is that the mental model that designers have doesn't include the possibility that the reader doesn't like 7pt type! I disable font sizes because of the excessive use of small fonts and it is quite common for text to overflow its layout boxes, in particular for controls to be pushed out of the box. Designers might like to think in fixed proportions, but when those proportions include two dimensions, as they usually do, you get a conflict with the overidability of font sizes. For the web, most boxes need to be defined in em sizes, or have minimum sizes in ems.
