"I'm sorry I couldn't use terms that EVERYONE would understand, but basically: inches / cm / pt won't really work for images, because they'd get translated to differing dpi, just like the fonts, and then we'd have pixellated-looking scaled images. eeewwwww." That's why I suggest some form of smart resizing -- it'd mean that a 72pt high image would always be 72pt high (except with buggy OSs/UAs) and thus line up with 72pt high text :) AFAIK, no UA does smart scaling though, so I'm going to have to wait...
