I don't quite understand the proposal. width can be defined in terms of font-size.... therefore it's impossible to define font-size in terms of width. For example, width:50em, font-size:auto would be undefined, since each would depend on the other.

Hi,

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place/way to ask this.

I recently posted on the www-style list a proposal for allowing the
'font-size' CSS property to have a value of 'auto':
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Jun/0016.html

The basic idea is that when font-size: auto is used, the browser would
calculate the font-size based on the element's width margins and
padding.  A javascript mockup is available at:

What I would like to know, if you can spare the time, is what you, the
webkit developers, feel about this proposal.  I'm not involved in any
browser development, so I don't know the implications such a proposal
would have if is at all feasible.

Thanks for your time,
