[csswg-drafts] [css-values] Ability to address actual physical size

nicksherman has just created a new issue for

== [css-values] Ability to address actual physical size ==
The lack of ability to address physical size in any meaningful way is 
one of the most glaring issues with CSS today. I wrote an article a 
few years ago explaining why:

Especially if there is any expectation that CSS will ever be used 
beyond the world of web design, the ability to specify and query 
physical size is crucial.

I realize it may now be too late to change the definition of what 
`in`, `cm`, `px`, etc refer to in CSS without breaking a lot of 
things. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be new units introduced to 
refer specifically to real physical values.
