Ann (Cline),
You are not the only person who first thought this. The Sunset
National Garden Book was published early this year by The Sunset
Publishing
Company of California. They are the people who make Sunset Magazine,
which
is well known on the West Coast.
I don't know of the Sunset Zones being listed online. The Sunset
National Garden Book has been available in many chain bookstores, so if
you
get a chance, you might wish to go thumb through it to see what it is
about.
I do feel that this book has the potential to be far more helpful to
gardeners than the overly broad USDA Zones.
