I think this is an important feature for accessibility, especially for low vision users where fonts with serifs can be unreadible. This is already a basic capability of Navigator, Explorer and Opera so I don't see what we are affecting conformance of current browsers by making it a priority 2. My vote is to keep it a priority 1.
