It also doesn't address the question of whether the file names inside
~/.config/zsh/ also start with a dot. Although I don't think the XDG
spec says so, I have the impression that the expectation is that files
in the config directory are not hidden.

I would not object to a change to zsh-newuser-install to set up the
linkages and ZDOTDIR when $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is detected. This could be
accomplished (and solve the are-the-files-hidden question) by placing
"source" commands in the usual startup locations. OTOH we already
went through one contentious and eventually abandoned attempt to
update zsh-newuser-install, so this may be a nonstarter.
Alternately, an XDG section could be added to StartupFiles/zshenv, so
that dropping that file in as ~/.zshenv would accomplish the desired
effect.
