In IE, when one clicks on the font-size selector icon and chooses
a display size (e.g. "smallest" or "largest"), the on-screen text
remains exactly at 16 points.

Due to a bug in IE.

No, it's not a bug. It's not a bug to work according to specifications even when this means helping the author to hurt users.

The user *should* be able to increase/decrease font size as needed

Of course. But that's a different issue. By CSS rules, the user is able to do that by instructing the browser not to apply style sheets, or not to apply the author style sheet, or to apply a user style sheet that overrides things in the author style sheet.

We've gone through this a couple of time.
