Why don't you just do it?
Because I really do not feel like triggering a flood of protest. Changing the site "layout" is considered a pretty "big" step by me and I really do not feel that settled within the project yet that people would simply accept my decision to do so.

Note that the website uses a mix of CSS and old fashioned styles in order to render on more browsers similarly.
Yes, I noticed that. As you might recall I fixed some issues in the xslt pertaining to that.

We might decide to convert it to a pure CSS site one of these day (I'd be all for it).

Well here is the famous "me too" I am just not sure which browsers wont like that

BTW, last time I checked pica was an absolute measure, too, and dependenent on the screen resolution just like cm, mm and pt.

as far as I recall pica is somehow calculated by aspect ratio and constraint size therefore the screen resolution wont break it that badly. But I am no expert at all.

I don't think px sizing is that bad, in fact if you want a fixed layout, it's the only way to do it. The relative sizes (em/ex) should work "better" when the clients browsers substitutes different fonts, but this is not an automatic feature, it has to be carefully developed and tested, too.

True.

Thanks for the input, as always.
