Luckily it doesn't trip your pet peeve of specifying less than 100% font-size on the body. > I don't know how you can sleep at night thinking this > is accessible design Presumably because those people who need bigger text can increase it, and the site allows for that admirably. Unfortunately you just won't get any traction for accessibility if the design doesn't look good to those paying for it, who usually have 'normal' vision. That's why it has to be at least partially a user-agent issue. Admittedly I'd prefer a liquid (or at least elastic) layout, and perhaps the UDM4 menus would help, but it's hardly a case for the "how you can sleep at night" type language.
