Success criteria 1.4.4

Hi all

We have ongoing discussions within my team as to whether relative text size is still required for public websites as you cannot determine if the user agents used the public will not be IE 6 or Firefox 2 (success criteria 1.4.4). So if a site renders well when zoomed by the user agent is that sufficient?

Many thanks in advance
Neil
