And the typical web page that sticks everything into a 600px wide table would come out 1.2cm wide? And if I'm using a 200dpi monitor (and such exist at this point) the web page should be 1/2 the size it would normally be? That seems very much undesirable. The goal is for the rendering to be legible and all. Just keep in mind that CSS has to work with devices whose actual pixel is a very very different size from the typical 1/96 of an inch that old Windows versions claim. -Boris
