Jonathan's concern: Zoom in responsive drops content

This thread *may* below on LVTF which I'm not signed up for. but its
perhaps also a mobile issue.

Jonathan says:
>Responsive versions may have different functionality and some low vision
users are forced into breakpoints by using zoom or low resolution they may
not have access to content that would appear on other’s desktops even when
they are using a desktop and that they can’t get the desktop functionality
with their level of zoom or resolution – that remains an issue.

Given Patrick's definition of the different types of responsive, we should
get an idea of which types of responsive more commonly drop content on a
small screen version.
- Pure CSS breakpoints
- JavaScript which mimics/uses CSS breakpoints
-UA sniffing on the server side

Would we want to require ALL the content from the desktop on the responsive
site? It may be optimized for a different use case than the desktop view,
people on the go trying to complete a task without clutter... and people
with cognitive disabilities may appreciate less content...

We may want to develop a simple toggle switch that adds the dropped content
that was on the desktop view when responsive kicks in WITHOUT forcing it
back to the desktop view which requires horizontal scroll on zoom in  ...
if we make it easy, then perhaps we can require it?
