Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Ability to address actual physical size (#614)

Note that, when asked if there was a use-case for the "adjust all length on the page by this factor" property, [I replied "Not really"](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/614#issuecomment-636064848). ^_^

As I said in the linked comment, the use-case is *not* "adjust every length on the page" - calibrating your ruler shouldn't also scale the UI. It's "adjust these particular lengths that I want to be physically accurate", and with variables there's an easy and robust way to do this by asking the user to calibrate the length, which is guaranteed to be correct in all cases rather than relying on a possibly-faulty browser-provided scaling factor.
