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

I don't see why this can't be added. In many cases, the API will be useful (most apps run on a single display, with EDID information readily available).

It seems like real unit (`rin`, `rmm`, and `rcm`, etc) would be a simple solution for it. In the case some odd device has missing information, those units can simply fallback to the same values as the current units (`in`, `mm`, `cm`, etc).

Additionally, a capability for `@supports`/`CSS.supports()` can be included so that users can make (media/container) queries based on whether a device has the information available or not.

Seems rather simple.

What is difficult is getting spec maintainers to see what end web devs need.
