[CSS3-MQ] Resolution from Christoph P�per on 2006-08-22 (www-style@w3.org from August 2006) (original) (raw)

CSS3 Media Queries CR introduces two new units (7.), |dpi| and | dpcm|, solely for its |resolution| media feature (6.9.). Could this
be changed or at least be amended to also allow standard CSS absolute
length units (e.g. |mm|)? The values using |in| and |cm| would of
course be the respective reciprocals of the current ones and
described the size of one point^W pixel. If a new unit was needed at
all this would be |um|, the ASCII representation of '�m' for
micrometre, approved by ISO (31?). It might also be a good idea to make this media feature a shorthand
for horizontal and vertical resolution for which separate features
might be added later.
