I think the most interesting use case is mobile, especially platforms like the iPhone where media queries against pixels are insufficient, because the developer/designer wants to optimize style for the physical size of the viewport (in combination with pixels) rather than relying on zooming. While this arguably may be *more* useful for apps, there are plenty of websites which could benefit from this amount of control. Stephen
