Authors should not suppress (with <code>user-zoom: fixed</code>)
or limit (with <code>max-zoom</code>) the ability of users to resize

There may be specific use cases where preventing users from zooming
may be appropriate, such as map applications – where custom zoom
functionality is handled via scripting. However, in general this

as a setting/option (which may however not be immediately apparent
to users).
