Somewhere I saw a list of canon lens can be changed in focal length continuously without losing focus. Does anyone have the link for this? Thanks!

Hrm.

If I am to believe the focus ring's distance indicator (and I am inclined to), then any FTM that doesn't move the indicator should be parfocal, no?

Notably, I don't think that either the 10-22 or 17-85 move the focus distance indicator whilst zooming, and both appear to be parfocal, in that I don't notice change in focus while zooming (tho with the 10-22, the dof is so great, that you never see much difference at all, for objects father away than a foot or so)
