Cool! I was aware of the option setting, but was under the
impression that it meant the browser would always ignore all
font-size settings from the author. Is that the case, or does this
option represent a halfway point where the author's styles are
honored until the user makes a change to the "Text Size" setting? I
just want to make sure I understand what that option does before I go
recommending it to people...
