Thank you for your suggestion, it seems to be working:

I don't like using "zoom" to give layout, because I'd rather use something
that validates, but I decided it wasn't worth the extra hassle for this
particular client's case.

Meanwhile, I've been reading "On Having Layout"

trying to internalize your zen-like "The Hand We've Been Dealt" attitude.

By "anchors", do you mean named HTML anchors? e.g. '<a
href="#name">name</a>'? Why anchors only, and not links in general?
