Resizing the window reduces the user's desired font size: I don't know how many web readability rules this breaks. If the user then increases the font size, the web page obliges, expanding beyond the window boundary, yet doesn't provide a horizontal scroller! Very bad. The thing is: Tufte's style isn't designed for webpages. It's designed for books. Books have defined margins, a fixed size, and pages with a defined length. (Good) web pages don't necessarily have any of that. This is where sidenotes fall down, for example: the CSS author has to jump through a variety of hoops, breaking various conventions, in order to make them usable when the user narrows his window width.
