Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-device-adapt] @viewport is preloader-hostile

@bradkemper Agreed. Scaling is one use case of Desktop mode where it 
feel adequate to remain a at 1024 width. Or eventually an author could
 decide to rescale undesirable screen widths to a custom size for 
legibility purposes or responsive design convenience.

e.g. They are tablets with a pixel ratio so compact that almost 
require either bumping the font size up or reducing the viewport width
 for a more reasonable legibility.  Recently, Amazon has switched my 
tablet portrait viewport from 533 to 600 with a system update, and I 
find it quite annoying as that ratio is now way to small for my taste.

Also @viewport and a user stylesheet override (not a thing yet but why
 not) could allow users to customize their device to their preferred 
viewport width more permanently. I assume that CSS origin would make 
it preloaded friendly if taking priority over device-with. That's 
speculation of course but that involves spec details to think about.
