initial-scale handling width

[lkrids]

This is more a question related to #824.

How do browsers calculate initial-scale if it isn't set in a meta tag? I assumed it would zoom out up to a certain point to try to fit everything widthwise on the screen on page load. However, this is an example of that not happening: http://jsbin.com/osOrIlE/1. Viewing that link on an iPad you have to scroll horizontally to see all the content. To force the browser to zoom on page load so all the content is visible widthwise I had to add extra height: http://jsbin.com/ehojOyA/1. Viewing that link on an iPad you can see all the content widthwise on page load. I was testing on an iPad mini.
