By inventing a new unit, representing 1/1000th of the initial containing block width? body {font-size: 30ticb;} Such an unit would not be usable under normal web browsing conditions. You don't want people reaching for their glasses when they make their window a bit smaller. But it would be great for Opera's OperaShow mode, and for decorative uses like on http://www.w3.org/Style/ .
