I'd argue that the percentage is not interesting at all. I mean, what
you want is a level of scaling that makes the text good to read for your
eyes, no matter if that's 55% or 200%. Who cares?
And I actually don't know what a zoom level of 100% should be. The
initial size when opening a document for the first time? That depends
on `doc-view-resolution'...
Bye,
