px ... yes, I've read specs. But you really should see the tiny-winy 
pages on my HTC smarphone.

px do not work there at all.

I'd quess, that it's because px are "ill defined". It's define as 
"smallest visible feature". Thus 1px lines *are visible* on my HTC just 
fine. The problem is that 20px "font-size", while perfectly readable on 
my notebook, is microscopic and unreadable on my HTC.

Then again, media query (used on responsive pages) check actual px 
(count) of the viewport, not "normalized" px.

So, from my experience: it works fine for "line drawing", it does not 
for enything else.

steradians would really, really be great.
