> That would have been a huge mistake; one of the big uses of viewport units is piping page-size information into unexpected places, like font-size so your text gets bigger/smaller according to the viewport size. That can't be done with layout systems. (That said, those use-cases don't need precise values; they're not bothered if 100vw isn't precisely the viewport width, they just care that it approximately maps to the viewport width. And the layout use-cases are, generally, better solved by just using Flexbox/Grid. So, uh, it might be possible to convince me that making the viewport units lower-fidelity is acceptable.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1766#issuecomment-326063563 using your GitHub account
