Zoom is a defense mechanism. If pages weren't offensive users wouldn't need
to apply defenses to combat the offenses. ;-) Page zoom will not replace text
zoom. Text zoom, besides being a defense, is also a shorthand, non-persistent
form of increasing the default size. Web pages that don't embrace whatever
the default happens to be are broken designs. There's no _good_ reason for
most web pages not to embrace whatever defaults exist, and size accordingly.
That means sizing everything based on em, not just text, at least until
resolution independence built into operating systems becomes the norm instead
of a pipe dream.
