Zooming causes the HTML parts to not display as intended, although it leaves the SVG alone.  And the target audience isn't expected to know how to unzoom -- zooming would be presumed to be accidental rather than intentional (eg. as a result of two different people touching the screen at once).

+1, I'm maintaining a similar kiosk app where everything but single taps
(even drag and drop) is disabled to prevent users from (accidentally or
intentionally) messing with the page layout.

We're still using single-touch panels though, would it be
possible/useful to disable multi-touch on the driver/X11 level for this
use case?
