I'm out of date - wtf is going on with headsets nowadays?

New frame is Salsa El Mariachi, I think it's 2014, and it says this on the website:

Headset: Upper 1-1/8" Zero Stack (ZS44/28.6)
Headset: Lower "For Tapered: 44mm External Cup (EC44/40) For Straight: Zero Stack (ZS44/30)"

The fork I think is a tapered one - the steerer is much fatter at the bottom than the top - looks like 1.5" on the bottom.

So am I right in thinking that something like [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/fsa-orbit-1-5-zs-headset-no-57-1-/rp-prod80065 ]this would work?[/url]

Oh.. wait.. that looks like it's for an actual tapered headtube.. do such things exist? The headtube is the same top and bottom (I think).

Give this a shot, just used it for my Cube AMS120 and really impressed with the outcome having struggled else where...
