What's up with measurement & scaling onscreen?

http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/units.en.html

The W3 does not particularly encourage unifying units of length.

What's up with Could measurement & scaling onscreen?onscreen be fixed via an configuration option enforcing accuracy?

http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/units.en.html

The W3 does not particularly encourage unifying units of length.

The Jolla phone would set itself apart if it enabled a browser configuration option to honour scaling of measurements given in CSS where a cm on screen was exactly that. The screen dimensions and pixel-to-length-units on display are not accurate.

The option would be off by default because the setting would change the way some HTML/CSS displays but much content would be unaffected. The advantage of turning the option on is that it less me create local web pages on the device that fit my needs. I can emulate pulley menu behaviour in the browser. It would possibly also become easier to add in a scale display during zoom action, using the user-configured scale (cm, in, %, px, etc).
