Yes, I looked more closely at the Atlantic Magazine page html. I searched
for `width=` and found 121 hits. The first one was as follows and I suspect
it is the key one.

<meta id="meta-viewport" name="viewport" content="width=1024" />

I would not want to adjust the widths of images, for example, btw.

I wonder if a way to handle such html would be by using a tricked out CSS
page that would cover things like tables and content -- whatever that is --
instead of some other URL. I think CSS follows a strict hierarchy where the
nearest CSS instruction overrides more distant ones. But that hierarchy may
mean that the document itself has the greatest priority, so CSS might not
work at all.
