[webkit-dev] Exposing CSS pixel metrics to the scripting environment

[Charles Pritchard]

Looks like I'm digging myself deeper into a hole here.

I'm running this issue through the W3C per your suggestions.

I'll open up an item in the bug tracker if / when there's movement in 
the specs.

Thanks all.
