"1px" is always equivalent to "1", but pt and in to user units (for example) depend on the UA's notion of the display DPI. The specification does say as much and I'm sure that's what you meant, but a literal reading of your comment is consistent with the common misconception... As an implementor, I have to suffer a lot of complaints because users don't understand that e.g. the pt:user ratio is not supposed to be fixed across all user agents or displays. I'm wondering if the language in the spec should be made a little stronger... -mental
