So the implication is that disabling user-scaling is a fail under 1.4.4 unless an on-site resizing mechanism is provided.

I do think there are several user-agent issues here though, including:
- Not allowing people to zoom when user-scalable=0 (or at least allowing an over-ride).
- Using a magnification style of zoom when you hit the smallest media query size.

I'd like to see a continuation of expanding the size of thigns within the viewport, like having max-width=100%.
