{ze'a} (I thought I was the only person who did that. But I still do it more 
regularly.)


Ouch! Yes, {ze'a} of course.


But is that standard Lojban -- or legal at all?  I can't find it and it
sounds implausible combining two distance measures, rather than a distance
and a focus.


{ze'a} is a duration, not a distance. This is even more clear
in space tenses, where the space occupied can be of different
dimensions, while distances only one dimensional.
