--- Comment #1 from thesmart <smartj at gmail.com> ---
I'd like to pile on that this feature is incredibly confusing to end-users.  Here are some grievances:

(1) pinch gesture is very sensitive, too easy to do by accident
(2) does not show zoom-level-% to inform the user of their zoom level
(3) zooming and then refreshing the page leaves the window zoomed, leading end-users to believe the site or their computer is broken (seriously!)
(4) ignores the Viewport meta tag "standard"
(5) no good way to detect zoom level or zoom events in JavaScript
(6) Apple Touchpad acts like a touch device, but does not trigger proper touch events

Giving Macbook TrackPad more touch-device-like capabilities is laudable, but failing to properly hook it up to existing touch APIs is hurting the end-user experience.
