Why the tiny font size for SCN Wiki content?

[mh97]

At my current settings (IE text size 'medium'), Wikipedia page content is about 12, maybe 14 pt, but SCN Wiki content is only at 8 or 6 pt. What's up with that?

Worse, if I change the text size in my browser (IE 7), the heading texts and such change, but there is no apparent effect on the content. ('Zoom' works in Firefox 4 but expands the entire page; it would be better if I could increase the text size with wrapping inside the normal page size.)

Maybe I'm just getting old and am supposed to suffer for it, but in any case I think it would help to have a 'text size' widget on the page to make the content more accessible for those of us with (apparently) vision problems. And make the default wiki text size a couple points bigger, could ya?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
