That's exactly what I meant by my (admittedly a bit short and cryptic) "two
different zooms" that would need to be added. One issue with that is that it has
to be generic, it can't be limited to text. That is, you need to define
potential zoom-stability for any object. And given that you also need
pan-stability. It shouldn't be too hard to specify.
Note that it can (and has been) be done rather easily with a little DOM coding.
