Interesting. However, I prefer to scale graphics equally in both x/y directions. For example, your graphic is unreadable by me unless I use two monitors and even then I can't read everything on the graphic. Even going to three monitors at maximum zoom (3840 pixels wide) does not help because of your max-width limit. However, if one removes your graphic from your layout, then it's easily read. I think that allowing the user to see/read a graphic via scrolling is preferable than presenting something that they can't read at any zoom level. Don't you think? That's one of the things I mean by the term "zoom cooperative". I think it's reasonable to assume that users realize that if they zoom something larger, and beyond the size of their monitor, they must scroll to see it. This action isn't any different than desktop applications, which most have been introduced to before using the net. In any event, that's my slant on things.
