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

Yes.  But at what resolution?   I use 800x600 on the desktop.   We'd need to define some minimum resolution or someone could could be testing at 1600x800.

if the user can zoom up to 200% without loss of content, then it is fine. If not, then you are absolutely right.

It is common in responsive design to provide different even limited

Each view must be accessible. However, if a mobile user cannot access
the higher res view and instead is fed a limited mobile-oriented view
and that view is accessible then there is no discrimination against that
user, for all users in the mobile environment are given the same
accessible functionality.

What happens if the reduced functionality mobile view is triggered because the user (e.g. on a desktop/laptop) has simply set their zoom to be high enough to comfortably read the site? I think there's some overlap here where it does fall within the realm of accessibility.

Consider a situation where a webmaster has two sites, one of which
provides more functionality, while the other less. No violation here.
Extending this logic to a situation where the server feeds content and
functionality based on user preferences, so too no violation.
When access to functionality is determined by client scripts (but not
because of lack of accessibility) so too there should be no violation of
wcag.
Webmasters have the right to determine what content is available to
users, unless the criterion for that decision inherently discriminates
against users who require accessible content.

In the zoom scenario, that would be the case, arguably.
