That's not how Safari works, actually. The standard behavior in most  
Mac apps is to maximize to "as big as needed to show the window  
contents". So Safari will expand horizontally to the width of the  
page (if there is one) and the height of the page (which on most  
pages is probably longer than your screen can show, so it goes as  
tall as it can). If you go to a page and make Safari nice and skinny  
and click the zoom control, it will probably increase its horizontal  
size (but not to the entire screen width) as well as its vertical  
size. YMMV depending where you visit to test this... but that's how  
it works on my site.
