I have a side question on this topic of size and size properties.  I'm just 
finishing up a 10 day test conversion of a small application interface and was 
surprised to see us use PX a lot in the layout  when it's on the JS side of 
things.  I was specifically using the jewel set to test with.  When I scaled 
the application it still looked acceptable, however if only the font-size / 
text size was changed (via accessibility or browser setting) then everything 
scaled poorly.   I overrode a good chunk of CSS by applying each new css file 
as a theme in order I wanted them to override each other.  What I changed was 
PX references to EM.  EM is based on the font-size by 1px font = 1/16 of EM.  
So a font-size 16px would be a natural 1EM.  Then the font-size scaling and the 
regular scaling both worked.


Would it be feasible to make the PX assignments on the JS side get run through 
a static function to convert it to EM instead?

Back on topic,  I was able to avoid using max size declarations by adding in 
CSS to utilize the flex-box CSS alignments to fill and distribute sizes.
