Why should users have to zoom? Don't you think it rude to require users to do 
something other than land on a page for it to be usable?

Zoom is a defense mechanism provided by browsers. It shouldn't be necessary, 
but is nevertheless a required browser feature as a consequence of rampant 
offensive web site design.

WCAG is grossly deficient for by not addressing inducing need to resize, 
implying resizability alone is sufficient.
