Folks,
The web site looks fantastic, but I can't read anything that's on it,
as the font size appears to be ~4point. I'm using Firefox (Linux &
OSX) if that matters. Help!
Cheers,
D

There *are* people who like the smaller size :) Once it's clicked, it
stays.

The American Disabilities Act (and similar legislation), afaik (and I
won't claim to be an expert) is satisfied (in part) if the site is
capable of being viewed at other point sizes. Nothing prevents browser
resizing, and having a size option is a bonus. I think it boils down to
individual preference.
If you're refering to the American Dental Association, I'm not quite
sure what that has to do with it. :)

That's a good point. Larger should be Larger, eh? I've also thought the
text at the top is quite light in color. (The gray overall could be a
little darker. There are quite a few shades of gray between the current
hue and black.)
It might not be a bad idea to have a couple more stylesheet options.
(I'm assuming the current smaller/larger text size is managed via a
stylesheet switcher.) Joshua Drake just posted an alternative style
sheet for the docs.

Time for a survey on the front page:
I would like the text on this web site to be
( ) smaller
( ) the same
( ) larger
