Hi,

In the CSS 2.1 Working Draft, individual margin properties have computed
value is stated as:

    "the percentage as specified or the absolute length"

(margin property is an example, other properties have similar computed
value)

The specification also states that pixel lengths are relative lengths,
since they can be scaled.

    "Relative length units specify a length relative to another length
property.."
    "Pixel units are relative to the resolution of the viewing device.."

>From the above, it sounds like pixels wouldn't be a computed value since
they are relative.

Isn't the computed value converted to pixels for a computer screen?  I'm
a bit confused, does the 
"absolute length" also include pixels?
