Meanwhile, you’ll be pleased to know other browsers are implementing

WebKit is the new Trident!
Pleased ? No. I would like browsers and rendering engines to
implement exactly what the spec. requires, neither more nor less.
Then /all/ of our lives would be greatly simplified.

Well, it's hacking in the sense that when a new release
comes out, I will have to retrofit my hack, which is
what I was having to avoid having been bitten with that
very problem today ...
But, as many have said here in other threads, the validator is a
guideline, not a law. We know what the purpose of zoom is and
subsequently why your code isn't validating. I personally would be
able to live with that.
Mumble mumble mumble. It is not validator-compliance that
I am seeking; it is W3C standards compliance, which is
(sometimes) a very different kiddle of fish ...
Ah well, my thanks to you both for your advice.

There are other ways of giving old IE "layout" other than using the
proprietary "zoom" property, of course:
