Re: CFC - Response to issue 674 (1st Note in SC 1.4.10 Reflow) and Reflow edits

Not trying to be cute, but +0.5, and only because Makoto has indicated that
he does not believe this will be an issue. (i.e. I can live with this -
barely).

I remain disappointed that the vertical and width values do not maintain
any kind of aspect ratio, and suggesting that this is primarily intended
for "desktop" ignores the blurring today between desktop, laptop and mobile
form factors. In all of these form factors however, screens remain
relatively similar with regard to height/width ratios, and I continue to
believe we've not accounted for that properly. Any screen that supports
"pinch-to-zoom" will do so proportionally, respecting the H/W ratio. (i.e.
you cannot decrease the usable width without also decreasing the usable
height, in either landscape or portrait modes)
