1) Modern browsers are perfectly capable of resizing the fonts if there
sizes are set in points.
2) Browsers have wildly different ideas about what 'small' and 'x-small'
are. That's why the menu on current PostgreSQL site is readable in some
browsers and completely unreadable in others. Do we want repeating it?
