It can yes.  zoom is multiplicative so if a parent has a zoom of 2 and  
a child has a zoom of 3, the content within the child would have a  
cumulative zoom factor of 6.  style()->zoom() holds the zoom factor  
specified on an element, while style()->effectiveZoom() will tell you  
the cumulative zoom factor.

zoom can also take a special value, reset, which can be used to ignore  
your ancestor zoom factor, thus resetting you back to an effective  
zoom of 1.0.
