I feel that if there was any developer interest in nonresponsive fixed layouts, we would've seen uptake of those capabilities of meta viewport in the ~2008-2012 period where iPhone was ascendant and had a single screen size. The fact that we didn't is a pretty strong signal that those capabilities are useless, to me. (I think it's a big stretch to argue that the media query feature was the key missing piece that prevented that.) I also feel that I would've seen, in years of bug triage, at least one issue that made me think, "ah, if only we supported @viewport sizing capabilities, this could be solved". So I don't think I'm jumping to conclusions. I think we gave that layout model a good chance and experience has shown it's a dead end. The only thing that was actually needed, and the inexorable trend of how UAs and webdevs treat meta viewport in practice, is as a convoluted equivalent to the old "mobileOptimized=true/false" property. -- GitHub Notification of comment by alexelias Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/258#issuecomment-230893287 using your GitHub account
