One particular functionality I have in mind is to display an object in the browser window with predictably accurate stated physical dimensions. IOW, one inch always measures one inch; one cm always measures one cm; 12pt always measures 12/72", etc.
Note that is not how they are defined in CSS officially. Actually, 1cm = 96px/2.54according to official web standards, seehttps://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#absolute-lengths That said, as the same secition describes further down below, 1px is also not a random screen pixel, but a view angle unit in CSS: "The reference pixel is the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a pixel density of 96dpi and a distance from the reader of an arm’s length. For a nominal arm’s length of 28 inches, the visual angle is therefore about 0.0213 degrees. For reading at arm’s length, 1px thus corresponds to about 0.26 mm (1/96 inch)." Any browser not adhering to that standard correctly is actually wrong, whatever you believe otherwise. ;-) So, yes, KHTML is actually a non-standard browser. And I still love KDE but I won't use khtml (neither its derivative engines from Apple or Google) where I don't have to.
