* Proposal 1: As simple as possible
** Only allow position fixed elements for zoomable non-1.0-scale pages.
** This hides position fixed elements for legacy desktop sites, which normally has extraneous content that can get in the way of viewing content.
** This allows developers to use position fixed in mobile and tablets from here on out.
** This adds no new CSS attributes.
** This removes any complications of trying to figure out which viewport to tie a fixed element to (and its confusing UX implications), because there is effectively only one.
** Cons: do any mobile-designed sites take advantage of zooming at all? This proposal doesn't help them.
