Man, I would have appreciated it if someone had pointed that out to me earlier. I saw <ratio> used in MQ, but couldn't immediately find the definition of it, and didn't find it in CSS3 Values, so I assumed that when people were talking about it they were just referring to a number. Somehow I never looked at any of the examples in MQ either. Um, never mind then? We'll just use <ratio>. Problem solved, discussion over. ~TJ
