Regarding ctrl+ that's what I was refering to when I mentioned users setting large fonts. In the old design it didn't matter much because the title frame was much simpler - icons on left, icons on right, title of resource in the middle. The frame was sized to fit the icons and for average size text the height of the frame was 3 times the height of the text. Therefore the font could be increased to 300% and still fit the title into one line. Now the frame is more cramped and there is stuff below the title and icons which can get pushed down. I think this can be improved a lot on the present design with better use of CSS styling. For example, there seems to be a top margin or padding that for big text gets very very big so not even the first line of the title remains visible. So, set the top margin and padding to zero or fixed measure in pixels. Also the grey bpx needs to be set to a fixed height so that large text is clipped rather than push the white area down. By the way having the top as a frame does have some uses for accessibility (as long as the user knows how to properly configure their browser). Also, does it matter that IFRAME is only available in the loose DTD, not strict?
