Re: Jonathan's concern: Zoom in responsive drops content

This is something that needs re-thinking or at least refining in WCAG.



In a desktop context, then why not require zooming of 400%?  Now that we have responsive design, that is quite easy, it isn’t nearly the hardship it was before when 200% was settled on.



Secondly, if the user is in a mobile context (e.g. screenreader on a smartphone) then they will be in the small screen version regardless of zoom and require access to the same content & functionality. Therefore all sizes of a responsive design must have equivalent content & functionality.
