Why would you make either width or height depend on the other when
you really want to provide their ratio (or area, i.e. either the
result of their division or their multiplication)?
foo {
ratio: calc(4/3); /* ignored if contradicting explicit width/
height,
because it is not needed then */
width: 4cm;
height: auto; /* -> 3cm */
}
foo {
area: 12cm; /* _square_ centimetres actually, but we only need
the scale,
the power is encoded in the property */
width: 4cm;
height: auto; /* -> 3cm */
}
