As I explained earlier (since "yesterday" is in your statement), there
was indeed a time when the ONLY safe font sizes for
Chinese/Japanese/Korean are 16 and 24px (not pt, percent, or any other
unit). And I distinctly remember that when CSS 1 was created, we were
still in that time when we needed px for font sizes. So "yesterday"
they should not been deprecated; today, they probably can be (and
"deprecated" does not mean "banned").
