RE: [css-device-adapt] Units

I think it would make sense to disallow these within the @viewport rule.

Subject: RE: [css-device-adapt] Units

While we are at it, I’ve discovered an issue with CSS-Device-Adapt : there’s nothing preventing you to specify the @viewport { width } declaration in viewport units (vh,vw,vmin,vmax).

However, those units are ill-defined in the @viewport rule since the width isn’t properly computed at this time.

@viewport { width: 2vw; }

In the only browser supporting both @viewport and Viewport Units (IE10), the declaration is causing weird rounding issues for viewport units later in the document so this clearly has border-effects proving it’s not completely ignored (even if the browser didn’t enter in a loop incrementing the viewport width at each relayout operation).

To make things simpler, I propose to invalidate the use of Viewport Units in the Viewport AtRule.

I've tweaked the text a bit now.
