I think you could get away with using proper physical units. Gecko's
px-to-inch ratio has always varied with the DPI (although the ratio is more
accurate in Firefox 3 than it used to be). Even dbaron's example site
doesn't misrender badly.

If you tried and it didn't work, it'd be interesting if you could point out
the sites that broke.
