What am I missing here?
There is no default viewport and without a viewport, scalefit has no effect. You can achieve what you want simply by setting attribute "width" to "100%" (because in such case scalefit=1 is implicit). > Also, while I'm asking, what are the defaults for the various > view-generating properties that XXE imposes?

The DocBook CSS style sheet uses an image gadget which derives from (more generic image gadget) image-viewport. Image-viewport defaults are found in http://lupo/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/csssupport/ch05s22.html Note that, in this documentation, the default values of parameters viewport-width, viewport-height, content-width and content-height are not accurate. We'll change this description to: "None." in next release.
