...so that when a vision-impaired person presses Control-Plus so s/he can
read the page, the text spills out of it?

Refer again to Ben's templates, or this site of mine,
http://www.countryrode.com/
and increase your browser's text size. Note how the columns get larger
(wider) along with the text, whereas with a fixed-pixel column width,
the text would overflow the column borders and look rather silly. :-)
