( unless someone has an example) you can implement this with relatively simple scripting (see the Tirol maps from Andre Winter at http://tirolatlas.uibk.ac.at/maps/thematic/?lang=de for example), I do not believe it is a good thing for general use though, as it breaks the convention of other web useragents where enlarging the canvase reveals more stuff.
