CSS 3 Values and Units specifies vw, vh, and vm units.  These are respectively
proportional to the width of the viewport, the height of the viewport, and the
minimum of the two.  These would be extremely useful for authors -- quite a few
very nasty hacks could be retired if we could use these (like
<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/> and
<http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hacks>).
 dhyatt said in #webkit that I should file a bug asking for this, and that
"they're very easy to implement".

As far as I know, no other rendering engine implements any of these units yet,
but I could be mistaken.  I'm going to file a bug against Gecko in a minute as
well.  See also this discussion on www-style:
