Um, that's exactly what should *not* happen in responsive designs, even
ones that do not consider accessibility. Are you sure these are not
fixed-width designs?

Can you provide any examples? Apart from the caveat I noted above (current
webkit browsers) you shouldn't get horizontal scrolling, that's the point!
