Using viewport dimensions and computed styles, resize/reflow elements to have them fit in a programmaticaly-declared (rather than CSS-declared) fraction of the viewport or a parent (or, really, anything which can be seen via the DOM).

More for web apps than for pages/documents. Reflow could take a while, so the whole app should be in a container which can be hidden or sunk during resizing.

I'm thinking here about scaling everything -- text, media, what have you -- in order to make things "fit", rather than scaling *boxes*. You have that with CSS already.
