It's too much to ask. See it from a visitors point of view: Can you  
imagine having to change your browser configuration or toolbar setup for  
every site you visit? Most ppl. aren't gonna bother. Keeping a tool one is  
used to will, most of the time, be more important to a user than seeing a  
site (that may or may not be useful) the way the designer intended it to  
be seen. I know _I_ rarely (almost never) bother to do much to make a site  
more usable. Maybe I'll zoom in or turn of the style sheet, but that's  
about it.

And I agree on Mike Kear's comment on font size values. In e.g. Opera it  
makes no difference (as I can zoom regardless) but for most users  
absolutely sized fonts are a pain in the rear.
