OK, that is a nit pic. If I do a brochure and have a printer make copies, the copies are WYSIWYG. 14pt is 14pt. Sure, there will be differences. Paper expands when moist, blah blah blah. One printer's output may look slightly different than another printer's output. Sure, users can take a printed copy and magnify it, scan it, whatever. But, the output remains essentially as designed. For all PRACTICAL purposes, printed matter is WYSIWYG.
If you are going to argue that printed output is not WYSIWYG, then please stop using that acronym entirely for any output. There will always be some insignifcant differences when transforming an input to an output. An example of what is WYSIWYG from the Xara website is below. What you say happens to printed outputs can also be said for pdf documents.
Web browsers are different than other output devices. I am unaware of a standard for browser viewer settings. In the real world, all the major browsers render pages differently. Heck, even IE6 and IE7 render pages differently, and they are made by the same company! But, I am aware of the WC3's web accessibility initiative.
Also, based on the comments from posters on the forum, many people are confused by the WYSInotWYG on their browsers and are trying to figure out how to make it WYSIWYG. That is, they want to make it look exactly as it was exported by Xtreme, but they can't do it.
