At some point [no pun intended], we authors need to take responsibility for what we do, and take notice of the fact that points and pixels are not the same thing, and that 12 points on a small high-rez phone is much bigger than 12 pixels. If we care about what our pages look like, we'll design accordingly. If not, we'll suffer the consequences. I know, I know, so will implementors. But we'll suffer more, and people will ask why our content looks so much worse than our competitors.
