Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] clarify that most (all?) high-dpi devices anchor on pixel, rather than physical, unit

No worries, I can port it over. (css-values-3 was forked out, so edits needed to go to both css-values-3/Overview.bs and css-values/Overview.bs)

> it didn't occur to me here that it even covered "print media with unusual viewing distances" (and i struggle to think of such a device to be honest)

Non-electronic billboards and signage? :)

> Also, to make a simplistic analogy, how would a UA/printer know if something's intended to be viewed at a "usual" or "unusual" distance?

On the one hand, there's that. And on the other, would you want electronic and non-electronic signage to behave the same? There's a *huge* gulf between 1/96in in physical units and 1px in angular units at far distances.

Anyway, I'll Agenda+ to sort this out then.
