No, there isn't. It's a good idea, though. How about:
IMG { width: 1.5 }
The other one is setting font sizes based on the width of the
containting block. I.e., when you resize the window the font size
changes. This one is trickier to come up with a syntax for. We could
have used % since everything you can do with % can also be achieved
with "em". I.e., these two are equivalent:
P { font-size: 1.5em }
P { font-size: 150% }
We could redefine %, but that would break existing pages.. A factor
could be used instead, e.g.
P { font-size: 0.05 }

You can scale it relative to its own containing block and the font size.
