> Not very easy to do them auto-magically work because it'd be cyclic (declarations using vw units could cause scrollbars to appear which would change how vw would resolve).
Percentages are not cyclic now, so why couldn't `vw` (or new unit) be equivalent to "percentage of root element"? Every single time I've used `vw` units, I don't care one little bit how wide the viewport is if part of it is being covered by a scrollbar. I only care what part of the viewport I can "draw" the element in without causing horizontal scrolling. If my element is direct child of the body, this is super easy, `100%` (or just don't specify any width is element is block).
```html
<body>
<div class="one" style="width: 100%;"></div>
<div class="two" style="width: 50%;">
<div class="two-child" style="width: 100vw;"></div>
</div>
</body>
```
`.one` and `.two-child` should resolve as same exact width regardless of vertical scrollbar being visible or not. Can we make this happen somehow?
