On paragraphs of text, I would agree, giving the user the ability to  
resize just the text is a nice convenience. Building a layout that  
allows for the entire layout to be "zoomed" by increasing the font  
size is (a) not worth the hassle, (b), not worth the design you'll  
have to sacrifice to do so, and (c) just doesn't make sense. I  
understand that most aren't "smart enough" to do so, but if you want  
to zoom in, you should zoom in (whether on the browser or the OS  
level) and not increase the font size. Take BYU's new home page.  
Cool… it is completely fluid… but it is not much to look at and the  
usability suffers tremendously.
