Ø That isn’t the case for responsive sites, zoom should not trigger horizontal scrolling in that case. Interesting point – most responsive sites are based on breakpoints set on viewport widths – so zooming within a breakpoint with fixed with containers can still unfortunately produce horizontal scrollbars. Browsers seem to do better at wrapping fixed fonts but fixed container sizes are more problematic.

That isn’t the case for responsive sites, zoom should not trigger horizontal scrolling in that case. Unfortunately we really need a two tier test, one for sites that are responsive when zooming, and one for those that are not. I agree with your sentiment/goal though, as it stands I don’t think the criteria is strict enough given that it is much easier to deal with zoom using media queries now. If you aren’t familiar with how responsive sites work with zoom I wrote an article on it here: http://alastairc.ac/2013/08/browser-zoom-great-for-accessibility/ which also had some good discussion in the comments.
