All of them can be expressed by `px` values with two digits after the decimal point, or less. Assuming this is indeed a frequent way to use root-ems, there could be value in introducing a new unit which is a subdivision of `rem` corresponding 1:1 or 100:1 to default pixels, e.g.:

No please!
I do this sort of thing quite often (to a lesser extent than in this example), but I don't want a new length unit fot that.
You can help yourself elsewhere if you care about the readability of your code:
:root { font-size: 0.625em } /* 10px */ /* or calc(1em/1.6) if you prefer */
body { font-size: 1.6rem } /* 16px */
.foo { padding: 1.25rem 5rem } /* 12.5px 50px */ }
(even this is overkill for me personally)
