As you note, any kind of width specification besides percent (or no specification at all) eventually expands beyond the viewport on zoom.
The "jello" design does, too. But my objection there is to the unnecessary horizontal scroll bar when the width is contained. Neither Opera nor Firefox do this.

In Firefox, your page starts off with margins, because 1em translates to 16px in that browser. IE 7 however starts off with no margin because 1em translates to 20px at my screen resolution. Your technique still works as designed though. Nice! P.S. I am now seeing other issues with IE 7's zoom feature.
