Re: [csswg-drafts] Browser zoom unit for accessibility [css-values-and-units] (#6869)

@Myndex First off I am in total agreement with you on the issues you have outlined. I am also especially in agreement regarding x-height being the key issue of legibility, at least for languages that have an x-height.

One point in your reply that gets at the root of the original issue I posted:

> the technology isn't there, except with a polyfill

Unless I am missing something, the technology isn’t there even with a polyfill. I opened this issue because in most browsers, changing zoom is indistinguishable from resizing the viewport. I created this issue so that there could hopefully be a tool at our disposal to create a polyfill. If we can identify page zoom level then we can make sure the text is scaled appropriately for optimum legibility.

If there is a way to detect zoom then that would resolve this issue, so I would be very happy to be wrong about this!
