One should be careful to avoid an assumption from "can" and "-able" that this
is something uncommon. The effect is no different from browsers set to a
different default size in the first place. Modern laptops often are delivered
by vendors with a larger default to compensate for high resolution and small
size. Without it, far fewer would ever sell. Too, the astute user often has a
browser that features a minimum font size option he is using, which often has
some pretty serious impact on under-informed scaling assumptions.

Here's one that had a profound impact on why what is today is:
http://style.cleverchimp.com/font_size_intervals/altintervals.html
That never got finished. http://fm.no-ip.com/css/W3C/css3-34discuss.html is a
proposed improvement and completion that disregards Golden Section in
deference to the realities of low px density web fonts.
