The concept of pseudoLindelof spaces is introduced. It is shown that the followings are equivalent: (a) for any two disjoint zero-sets in X, at least one of them is Lindelof, (b) <TEX><TEX>$\mid$</TEX>vX{\;}-{\;}X<TEX>$\mid$</TEX>{\leq}{\;}1$</TEX>, and (c) for any space T with <TEX>$X{\;}{\subseteq}{\;}T$</TEX>, there is an embedding <TEX>$f{\;}:{\;}vX{\;}{\rightarrow}{\;}vT$</TEX> such that f(x) = x for all <TEX>$x{\;}{\in}{\;}X$</TEX> and that if <TEX>$X{\;}{\times}{\;}Y$</TEX> is a z-embedded pseudoLindelof subspace of <TEX>$vX{\;}{\times}{\;}vY,{\;}then{\;}v(X{\;}{\times}{\;}Y){\;}={\;}vX{\;}{\times}{\;}vY$</TEX>.
