I can sympathize with that opinion in the context of UI and theme authors, but IMO the ability of web page stylists to exercise the same power upon screen media is precisely what indirectly causes millions of inaccessible and unusable web pages, and directly limits the ability of the web to exercise its flexible and adaptable inherent nature. Until the size of a px becomes easily controlled by normal users, if it ever happens, ordinary screen media stylists should be disallowed from using px to size. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
