As you hint in your last paragraph, I don't think this has
anything to do with CUA.

Just as I argue that Emacs's cl.el should not have extraneous
stuff that has nothing to do with Common Lisp (which it has
gotten, little by little), so I'd argue that text-scaling
should not be added to `cua-mode'.  If you want to create
another minor mode that uses those keys for text-scaling,
that's OK by me.
