I just checked mine... 27 people have already looked at this page... most
just once but Carroll (67.172.149.244) has looked at it 4 times - three
times with Chrome and once with Safari. Why? Whatever.

You can. I added a second video to the same page:

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/OSXZoom>

So you know: the zooming to show the menus a bit better was not on screen -
that was done in post production. The rest was done in real time.

One weakness: I do not know how to get anything other than the pre-set zoom
amounts. In other words, you can see on the video that each command-+ zooms
by a non-trivial amount. I assume if you can do this with a scroll wheel you
have a bit more control, though other than thinking about it for this
discussion this has *never* been an issue for me. But there it is, a
weakness (and even then there is likely a "defaults" command to change the
percentage amount... would have to look it up).

Click on any of the links in my .sig and you will hear it there, too.

Well, this way I can add additional codecs if needed (though most browsers
now support mp4) and, as I did above, I can add another video to show more
info.
