I really don't want to do that, in the same way that I wouldn't want
to see IE popping up a dialg box telling people not to use PLT.

This is also not a good solution.  Changing the setting is not a good
idea exactly because it is there.  IIUC, there were lots of security
issues, and MS just diverted them all by the "local machine zone
lockdown" -- but the problems are still there, and if it's renabled
them people will be exposed to them.  I definitely don't want to be
responsible for security issues with IE killing someone's computer...
