The main question, to me, is: what are you proposing? Is this something 
that web content authors need to cater for - provide a mechanism to 
enlarge text, making sure it wraps, up to 1100%? Is it a requirement for 
user agents - to go beyond their current zoom limit of around 500%, and 
to offer (like old Opera Mobile/Mini, and outliers like Dolphin on 
mobile) a means to enlarge text size and force rewrapping of text?

I don't think anybody is disputing that having that large print will be 
beneficial for certain users...the question is who this requirement is 
aimed at and what you're asking them to do in order to allow for 
it/achieve it.
