As previously discussed with a few of you at face to face meetings, I've started a new draft to specify a few units and values that were missing from css, and whose addition make the language nicer to use, read, and maintain. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-egg/ I think this should all be fairly easy to implement, and in fact Opera had already implemented some of this in Presto a few years back[1]. Arguably, this could push some pressure on browsers that use very few bits to store number types, but this is not really worse than what you can do using scientific notation (or mashing the keyboard for too long), so I don't think this is critical. Together with recent additions in the Fetch specification[2], this extends the expressivity of the web platforms in ways which I believe native app platforms are unlikely match. If the group agrees, I'd like to publish as FPWD. - Florian [1] http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/desktop/opera-11.60-beta-debuts-with-double-rainbow-support [2] https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#unicorn
