I rather that we use font-based metrics (e.g. 40em) instead of pixel
sizes. That way the layout won't break or look horrible if the user
changes the default font sizes (e.g. for special needs, etc.) or doesn't
maximize his browser window.

But that's just my opinion.

Also, I am skeptical of a single style that will work for both desktop
and mobile browsers. Isn't that what mobile stylesheets are for? We can
have the same content, but we shouldn't break the desktop layout or make
it look laughably spaced out just for the sake of mobile devices. Let
the mobile devices have their own stylesheet.
