Have no fear, I would never allow Tim to produce such an atrocity ;-).

I use Mozilla (on Linux) configured to use my preferred font and font 
size and to ignore document specified fonts. 
http://pollenation.net/assets/public/draft-oct14.html, which I think is 
still the latest HTML mockup/demo, works wonderfully. Both the 
navigation and body text is rendered in my font and Ctrl +/- works very 
well. When I allow the page to override my font settings Ctrl +/- works 
just as well, only it uses the page specified fonts and sizes to start with.

However, please try with Safari and other browsers. If it doesn't work 
correctly then post a bug report here.

IIRC, Tim was also planning on providing a selection of stylesheets for 
different types of user. In fact, he's already done a couple to prove 
the concept. If your browser allows you to select an alternative 
stylesheet (View/Use Style on Mozilla) there are "Basic Page Style" and 
"large text" options. Also, you must check out the printed version of 
that page - it's fantastic! - note the complete removal of all 
navigation and the magical appearance of the "module" URL where the 
normal page contains a link.

Cheers, Matt
