Re: Question from PF about CSS Device Adaptation spec

Apologies. I misread the spec reference Janina mentioned. This is indeed documenting the existing viewport method for controlling user zoom. I misread the request below and thought this was referencing a new CSS *property*.

The CSS "user-zoom" property does not appear to be implemented yet and I do not see a bug for it on WebKit.org, but there are similar UI zoom control features implemented as meta viewport. Arguably a CSS variant is more accessible than viewport because a user can override it with a user style sheet, but the accessibility concern should be noted and accounted for in the CSS spec.

Indifference towards people and 
the reality in which they live
is actually the one and only 
cardinal sin in design.
