This would be useful to me. I would like some method of specifying the initial zoom level in the url when linking to a page and I can’t find whether there is any way of doing this - I suspect not. The reason I need this is that in the Multidict facility which I wrote (http://multidict.net/multidict/), I access dictionaries in the Web Archive, but the pages always appear too small to read on the screen, so after every word lookup the user has to wait for the page to start to appear and then click zoom several times.
