(Absolute) font size does not belong to the page designer, instead to the user. 
Just press dedicated key binding (often ctrl-), or whatever command to set it 
appropriately.
But I agree a page's structure should avoid /requiring/ to much width just to 
be corrctly displayed; and thus /force/ users to scale text down. Very "unnice" 
to people with sight problems (not my case, but...).
