[P1] type appearance

Some web designers (ones that need to be taken outside and beaten with 
a sock full of door knobs) use a fixed font size that can't be 
overridden by a custom stylesheet. I think that both Mozilla and Safari 
now allow you to force the text to resize, even though technically it's 
not supposed to be allowed - one time when strict adherence to the 
rules would be a hindrance rather than a benefit as it usually is.
