Re: SC 1.4.4: browser zoom and responsive design

It comes down to whether it's the *functionality* that's important or the
*content*.

The functionality is "the ability to see the collection dates", which the
list on mobile provides.

If the calendar on desktop has additional functionality (quickly skip
through months, etc.) then mobile is missing functionality. Otherwise I'd
argue that the core purpose, the dates, are still available in a readable
format so don't need to be shown the same way where doing so would impair
understanding.
