> We'd like to implement pinch zoom while behaving well on existing desktop websites which weren't designed with it in mind.  In particular, fixed-position elements tend to be positioned strangely in the presence of pinch zoom.  We're planning to position those in a larger box which is always sized to the initial containing block, which we're tentatively calling "desktop compatibility viewport".

Both iOS and Mac supports fixed element and full page zoom.

It could be bad for web developers to have to tweak for each browser separately. It would be nice to have common concepts and behaviors instead.

Could you please detail a bit the concept you are creating? Would the element still be fixed when you zoom? If the position is in percentage, how do you layout?
