WCAG discussion about minimum and maximum critical font sizes</a>.
81+
User agents must calculate the computed value of ''font-size/medium'' by multiplying 16px by
82+
the <dfn>text scale factor</dfn>.
83+
User agents must also apply this factor when determining the computed sizes of the other <<absolute-size>> keywords.
84+
However, user agents should scale these other keywords non-linearly
85+
to preserve readability.

Note: Applying a linear scale to all keywords would render large fonts excessively large. See the
