Probably not, but making the layout hold its own when subjected to
'minimum font size'[1] might be a good idea.
The effect is very much the same as with decreased font size on your
layout - it tends to stack in Firefox and Opera.

Solution - add...

#mainwrap {clear: both;}

...to prevent stacking, and add...

#header, #footer {display: table;}

...to make header and footer adjust to changes in font size when needed,
thus preventing overshooting/overlapping onto the center column and
below the #bordwrap bottom.

I disagree with Felix on this point, but that's not a big issue since I
(and others) can use 'fit to window width' anyway - which acts as
'max-width = window-width' at the user end (with the right browsers).
That may make your page-columns stack - linearize, but it is still
working quite well.
