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/ .
