I agree with you that the list is speculation. Now I want to take a level X, put him against 5 even mobs in both zones, record starting and ending percentages and develop an actual ZEM list..

First step? You'd need a reference zone to compare all other zones to, preferably one that shared its ZEM with as many zones as possible.

As far as bonus, its effect is quite massive, anyone whose farmed Highkeep will tell you nothing compares 20-34 and 51-55, same goes with the other high ZEM zones. So while the list might not be correct to the multiplier, I think the scaling is at least appropriate as far as which zone's ZEM is superior. Til then I guess my percentages are just a reference to the relative superiority of zone multipliers.
Sure, they're good as a general guideline, though you shouldn't be surprised if the wiki list claims that a certain dungeon has a better ZEM than another dungeon, but on p99 it's the opposite.

Also, I'd love it if someone actually did the kind of research you mentioned here. Would be very cool. Though I'm sure the devs would fiddle with the ZEMs a bit once it became public knowledge.
