Try looking at http://invisible-island.net/xterm/manpage/xterm.html on a phone. (Or maybe Firefox, too.) the side bar zooms too, covering page content, and if it's too big, it doesn't scroll.

Can't reproduce a problem with Firefox and don't have a phone handy. Maybe you can post a screenshot? The sidebar zooming too is what I would expect. At some insane zoom level the sidebar goes away, which is probably due to CSS and could be intended.
I don't see a sidebar covering content. Of course the sidebar takes some space, but as long as it's not over the content that's a different issue IMO.
