WebView scale is too small

For example, if you compare http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ in the Browser app to the same page in a WebView (such as in the Wikipedia app), the WebView shows the content about 30% smaller.

I suppose this is because the WebView is hardcoded with a DevicePixelRatio setting that doesn't match the Browser.
