If you have italic text within a block of normal text, then there will 
be some spacing issues, although the text remains readable and the 
layout doesn't break. But in that case you can use height insead of 
zoom. However, you must set overflow to visible, inspite of the seeming 
illogic. So for IE6:

overflow: visible;
height: 1em;

And the parent block should be in default alignment - not fully justified.

The fix for IE5 should remain as stated in my earlier post.
