True, but how is that relevant?  Users of browsers on non-handheld,
non-mobile devices shouldn't have to change browser window sizes
or scroll horizontally just to read text that should have wrapped right
in the first place.

I think you missed my point:  It's a bit contradictory (hypocritical?)
for a page about best practices for the mobile web to not follow best
practices for the regular web.
