There's a great amount of (top) vertical whitespace added (all pages) when a user increases the page zoom level to 200%. It creates vertical scrolling to get to the main content of the page, and, visitors may believe that the page didn't fully load or is blank. 

This does not occur when using text zoom only.


Steps to reproduce:
Go to http://talk.webplatform.org/forums/
With full page zoom enabled (usually the default in browsers), zoom to 200%.

Happens all of the time in Firefox 16.0 and Internet Explorer 9.

For what it's worth, I am visually impaired and zoom web pages to 200% after first viewing them at their default levels.
