Why is that? I don't concider the two options mutually exclusive from a user's
point of view. Of course if this just doesn't work out for technical reasons we
can't do much about it.

I agree it must be possible to adjust this value from an application. I think
zoom-factor should actually be a property of WebKitWebSettings. I suspect an
application global value is the proper way to handle this.
