This rough sketch might illustrate that visual weight, proportion and
sense of emphasis would be lost if I relied on a Minimum font size
setting for every day browsing. The sketch doesn't have precise keyword
relative sizes but, say a visitor chose 9 for minimum, and 9 is small.
The result is one size rather than three sizes smaller than medium.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful replies. Sorry if this topic
wasn't suitable for www-style. My question about another change in
shipping sizes was answered. Best wishes.
