> Sometimes I’m on my computer, and Reader doesn’t work on your web app. I hit CMD + two or three times... then the layout falls apart.

In ML, in Safari, double tap a text column with two fingers. It will zoom the text to fill browser width, just like the double tap with one finger on an iPhone or iPad.

The browser will zoom into that column without changing layout, and then re-render the page to make the text full resolution. Scroll will be lightly tied to the newly zoomed column.

Double tap with two fingers again to zoom back out to full page width.

Still, agree with the premise. Designs should anticipate text size of "content" areas being changed by the user, and the layout should support reflow of arbitrary text size changes without breaking.
