I didn't. That's why my post was phrased as a question, not a
statement of fact ("Is this a practical issue?" vs. "This is not a
practical issue").

What language was this, and why did you need it? I'm curious. Even
if it came up for you, I'm pretty sure it's not common enough to
outweigh any other concerns raised, especially since it should get
still less common with time. Although, I don't think anyone is
talking about banning px for font sizing, we're just talking about
redefining physical units to be relative to px instead of really
physical.
