I'm thinking 4.3V Zener and a series pass transistor.

Wrong way.

Why?

NEver mind. I tried to cancel this but Gravity thinks I didn't post
this.

Still at TARFU level, I guess.

OK 5.6V zener, solly.

I think the emitter to base voltage will be something like .6 to .75V,
and this has to be subtracted from the 1V diff, leaving something like
..4 to .25V. This very low voltage is what you have to work with when
coming up with the resistor value to limit the current to the zener.
