For sites with elements set to fill 100% of their parent container's width, the presence of a <link type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternative" ... /> tag in the <head> causes those elements to get "stuck" at a width larger than the current browser window. It looks like a min-width is imposed on them.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The following code should reproduce the issue:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/path/to/rss.xml" />
</head>
<body>
<div style="background:#FF0000;width:100%;">
<p>test contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest contenttest content</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
If you open a page containing that code and try to narrow the browser window you'll see at some point the <p> no longer wraps, but scrollbars do not appear to allow access to the offscreen content.

Expected Results:  
If you remove the <link> element from that code and try again the <p> content wraps correctly.
