The fact that a CSS transform doesn't affect layout, whereas 'zoom' does, means that we'll paginate (fragment) properly with 'zoom', but not with transforms, since they are applied after fragmentation [1], causing content to be sliced across fragmentainer boundaries, and the actual page/column breaks (as far as layout is concerned) are shifted away from the fragmentainer edges visually, and will appear in the middle of a page/column, for instance.

That alternative should always work, but more cumbersome for the authors, I suppose? > On Sat, Apr 15, 2023 at 1:03 AM Chris Harrelson <chris...@chromium.org> > wrote: > > Contact emails > > chris...@chromium.org > > Specification > > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/zoom > > Summary > > Removes support for the non-standard "zoom" CSS property.
