Collecting and asserting units mentioned above, my proposal is to add the following absolute length units to css-values: - **General metric units:** `m` ‘meter’, `dm` ‘decimeter’ and either `mu` for µ ‘micron’ or `um` for µm ‘micrometer’ (but not `mum`). Obviously, `1m` = `10dm` = `100cm` = `1000mm` = `1000000um` or `1000000mu` ≈ `3780px`. - **Typographic metric units:** `cc` ‘cicero’, `dd` ‘didot’ with `1cc` = `12dd` = `4.5mm` ≈ `17px`. <!-- `1mdl` ‘module’ = `12thm` ‘thumb’ = `300mm` = `800dd` --> - **General English units:** `yd` ‘yard’, `ft` ‘foot’ and `hd` ‘hand’ with `1yd` = `3ft` = `9hd` = `36in` = `3456px`. - **Fractional English units:** `sx` ‘sixteenth-inch’ or ‘six-pixel’, `tx` ‘thirtysecondth-inch’ or ‘three-pixel’ and `twip` ‘twentieth-point’ with `1in` = `16sx` = `32tx` = `96px` = `72pt` = `1440twip`. - **Common anchor unit:** `gcd`, `emu` or, preferably, `dot`. `1q` = `360dot`, `1pt` = `508dot`, `1px` = `381dot`.<!-- = `480mp` --> -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/315#issuecomment-268761046 using your GitHub account
