Also, I might be missing something, but it looks like the "user-agent style sheet" in this sentence should be "user style sheet", because the user agent style sheet is the default style sheet of the UA, instead of the user-specified one.

Relevant spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-cascade/#cascading-origins

Agreeing with your subsequent point that this should be the user stylesheet, not the user-agent one.

Making text smaller is an unusual acessibility requirement, but pointing out that it can be done is harmless. perhaps "larger (or smaller)"?

Making text smaller is an unusual acessibility requirement

Not that unusual. I personally find too-large body text annoying & difficult to read (and I really hate the trend towards using vw units in font-size to increase it on wider screens, often opening up dev tools to fix it).

It becomes a serious accessibility issue for people with limited field of vision, who need a constrained-width column of reasonably-sized text, not big text that stretches across the entire screen.
