While I haven't used rem for padding or margin myself (as far as I can
remember), I usually use rem on all new projects going forward. I do
provide a fallback of px, however, for support of those browsers who need
it (though I may stop doing that as well soon). I use Sass (.scss) and have
a nice mixin for this:
@mixin font-size($size) {
font-size:$size;
font-size: ($size / 16px) * 1rem;
}
and in my scss file, I use it like this:
@include font-size(13px);
which compiles to this:
font-size: 13px;
font-size: .813rem;
The validator isn't always right for html5. I'd have to see the error and
evaluate it.
