&quot;Any browser that truly attempted to treat pt as 1/72nd of a physical inch would just end up mis-rendering Web sites … You can’t actually use the physical DPI of the device because it could make the Web site look horribly wrong.&quot;

I dispute this, and seek to have 1pt == 1in/72, taking into account the device DPI, and where 1in is exactly one inch across if I hold a ruler up to the screen/page. For example, when dragging a window across screens of differing resolutions, relayout should occur if absolute units are used.
Websites that look horribly wrong like this are *designed* to look horribly wrong. It&apos;s not our fault the website designer sucks.

Unless Apple&apos;s screens have a way of obtaining their pixel density and dot pitch, this will probably require a lookup table for all flat panels. I think a best guess is all you can achieve with CRTs.</thetext>
