You are quite right. It didn't work when I tried it and no variation I could think of did either. In the debugger I can see the maximum- scale value change back to 1.0 but the viewport stays at the same scale. The Apple developer documentation on the Safari viewport meta tag makes no mention of forcing the scale to any particular value except as the initial-scale. The user can re-scale back to "normal" by double tapping but this won't work once you have turned the user- scalable feature off. In fact if the user does zoom and then you turn the zooming off there appears to be no way to get back to normal scaling except by reloading the app. It seems turning the zooming off once it is on is a bad idea.
