The only significant viewport limitation I see isn't intrinsic. Modern
browsers do a remarkably good job of filling the available space if only
they are allowed to do so, and they're pretty generic in their ability
to do it pretty much like every other modern browser.

Instead, the big limitation is that most web designers choose,
self-limit, to using less than 100% of the available width whenever that
width is more than some arbitrary px value related to lowest common
denominator (lowfi) user configuration. If you don't measure your design
objects in px, then viewport size needn't matter much, if at all.
