I'm saying that it's no different from sizing in terms of any other CSS unit.

I read your post most carefully, thank you. If the text is large, then the
users won't have issues reading it and won't zoom and there won't be a problem,
right? After all, it's not like the font zoom will accidentally end up zoomed
from the last time they used the browser, or something.
On the other hand, if the users can't read your text even at the size it's at,
then surely it's better for them to be able to read it after all then for them
to simply give up on trying to read your page?

Yes, but like I said nothing makes pixel font sizes special.

Robert, I clearly explained that Mozilla's behavior _does_ conform to the
standards. It's all well and good to go about tossing around obscenities and
calling things names, but this list is for discussion of CSS standards.
