I believe (as Apple hasn't actually updated their documentation) 
preventing zoom is still possible inside web views in Safari (e.g. 
native apps with webviews / hybrid apps), so it should ideally remain in 
the spec, but with a fair warning about how the feature itself is 
user-hostile and that UAs may ignore it (either outright, like Safari 
does for wild web content, or through a setting as in the case of 
Chrome/Firefox).
