To be completely honest, after I read this, I won a ZvT <3. While not abnormal, the game was, and only because I was taking the concepts of this post into account was I able to succeed, in my humble opinion.
A) willingness to build more queens (and consequently spread more creep)
B) spine placement
C) overseers

I would have loved to incorporate items like zoning banes as well as macro hatcheries, but I didn't have the resources- stupid terran kept the game in the mid-game so i never could tech or get a comp that would be able to use a macro hatch D;

Very structured, clean and opposite of abstract post. I love it!

Subtle?
How are these subtle changes?

GREAT POST! I really liked how you picked up on all of these things, and I will really try to do so myself in my ZvT! I wish I had more time to watch GSL, but sometimes I can breathe a sigh of relief because there are people like you out there. So thank you! :3

Sometimes just a quick reminder that we even have burrowed banelings available is helpful. I never use them, but I can always think of situations in which they are good. I actually just had a game today that I could've used them. Thanks for the tips. My ZvT has been slacking lately and is stopping me from getting to Masters. =[

Some time has passed since the writing of this post and I wonder if anyone is interested in updating a bit on the evolution of ZvT in recent times? I know that compared to ZvP the meta has been relatively static. Would anyone with some confidence/knowledge on the subject like to contribute? I just got back into SC2 recently and was just curious.
