I agree too, it would be useful only to IE users when the font-size it's
specified in pixels, so one could avoid the problem using ems.

Just to be Devil's Advocate a minute, what's "useful" is defined by the
user base, and no rule of thumb can categorically cover it. One of my
clients is a company that markets films geared to "older" people. Many
of them can open a browser, but expecting them to be able to dig under
the hood on their browser settings to get the font on your website
large enough to read I think is a mistake.<br>

There are occasions where that font-size block can be very handy for
people with poor eyesight. With theming, accessibility is not just
about toeing the standards line, but also -- and perhaps more
importantly -- it's about creating a user experience that is easy to
understand and use. If they can't read what's on the page, and they
have to know how browsers work in order to rectify it, you may have a
technically accessible page but it's not inviting. People will just go
elsewhere.<br>
