Right, I will ask on emacs-devel.

"INC" seems a rather standard and self-explanatory pet name for
"INCREMENT".

Yes.

I've nothing against temporary keymaps -- I thought the buggy behavior
I've found and reported was the default one, so I just implemented
text-scale-adjust another way.  Also, I think the (while ... read-event)
construct is a simple way to keep the message displayed.  But surely 
more a matter of taste than a technical point.
