Personally, I think fit-to-content is more important for fluid  
layouts than for fixed-width (although how one determines what fit-to- 
content is for a fluid layout is beyond me).  But zooming to full  
screen on a fluid layout is a nightmare.  Long line lengths are very  
difficult to read (there's plenty of research out there to support  
this), and most fluid layouts don't limit them.  It's extremely  
difficult to read a maximized fluid-layout page at any resolution  
higher than 1024x768.  At 1600x1000, it's impossible.

Just my 2c.
