[thelist] Accessibility: Is there a limit?

[Frank]

Request for opinion.

I'm all for accessibility, I live by standards, heck, all in all,
I'm a politically correct coder. My site degrades from some of the
most beautiful stuff Moz can do to being not only readable in nn4x
but even acceptable.

But is there a limit? How far do we go?

I'm completing a layout for my own personal site. It's liquid in
every sense of the word. Move the browser window as you will, and
everything flows and molds itself to the user's desires--up to a
point. If you make your browser window 100px by 100px, it becomes
kind of hard to read.

I can zoom text to about 250%, but beyond that, it's starts to look
a little wonky. You can still read it, but it loses it's "Visual
anchorage", meaning that the structure is more difficult to imply
visually. The best it can handle is 425px wide at 100% zoom. It
should even work with web tv.

But just how far does one go with accessibility? The way I see is
that this site primarily generated for one medium: a 14 inch monitor
or better.
