Re: [css3-values] Physical length units

I'm sure it has, and I don't expect anything to change with regard to
this - decisions have already been made and CSS has a history it's
going to maintain. I still don't like the result.

I don't see CSS development to be sustainable in the long term without
the ability to author to a specified version. These "we can't do that
because it breaks backward compatibility" things will eventually be
one of the main causes for replacement technologies.

I'm with Chris Epstein and co; CSS is the worst aspect of the web
medium: http://infrequently.org/2012/02/misdirection/
