Note that <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-values/#absolute-lengths> specifically calls out that you can assign it to anything; it provides as one of the definitions the "96 dpi reference pixel" thing, but explicitly calls out physical units. (You may be remembering the 2.1 definition, which predates the decisions I'm talking about in this thread.) > b) It you don't default to 96, many SVG files break.
