IMO, the user should be educated in the use of their browser!

Indeed!

However, this does not seem to be the case. The majority of users know just enough about their technology to barely get what they need out of it. My first use for such a attribute would be compiling some statistics on my users, or possibly correcting super small text.

Another solution could be a fount control on each page. I've seen these on other site but have never written one. I imagine one could use Javascript or in combination with server side such as php, which writes some css.

Has anyone written one of these and found it useful? I plan to put a survey on the site in hopes to discover these ridiculous problems, but a user finding a microscopic website or old-folk key-pad looking site, likely, would just hit the back button, assuming such a ninny knows about that function.
