>With pending tax law changes this may no longer work post-2012

I just checked this for 2013 and read the following (my bold):

Long-term capital gains taxes were first eliminated for some low- and moderate-income individuals in 2008. This zero-tax break was made a permanent part of the tax code Jan. 2, 2013, when the American Taxpayer Relief Act was signed into law.

While I question whether anything can be "permanent" in tax code, this is really good news for those who can take advantage of it. If a married couple keeps their taxable income below $70,700, long-term capital gains are taxed at zero percent.
