Zoom needs to work, but its need shouldn't be induced by the design itself, such as by setting a sub-100% text size on the body or setting 62.5% on body and bringing the size back up to less than the browser's default on P or other prime content text. WCAG should frown upon deviating a page's base size from browser defaults, promoting sizing that is limited to conventional contextual uses. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
