Re: Making pt a non-physical unit

Ideally pixel unit in CSS should match common definition of the pixel, 
e.g. here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel to do not create any 
confusion. But as soon as that train is left the station then should
postulate that 1px is a logical length unit in CSS that equals to 1/96 
of the inch. And so 1px = 3/4pt.

I think it makes sense to introduce "dp" or "dpx" units - "device 
pixels" for cases like hairline borders and other UI related tasks.
