[policy] Document when we should use each CSS unit

Created on 4 July 2014, over 10 years ago
Updated 16 February 2024, 9 months ago

Problem/Motivation

We don't have anything in our CSS standards about which units to use and when, apart from media queries β†’

We have a really inconsistent implementation just in Seven alone, it would be nice to have some guidance for contributors.

Proposed resolution

Use rem units preceded by px units for a safe fallback, unless it creates an undesired effect.
