HTML actually has an abstract 'em' unit which is linked to the text size.
I've actually long wished that we had some kind of 'pixels' with fixed angular size. But I kinda doubt that most web-developers would like to work with steradians :)

CSS pixels are exactly "some kind of 'pixels' with fixed angular size".

Then we lose ability to use sub-pixel positioning (last time I checked you can't use fractional pixels).
That's not a problem right now, since browser does all the drawing. But once we move into the brave new Canvas world, we'll start to get this kinds of problems. 1 pixel on a Retina display might be below eye's resolution, but 1px misalignment is easily noticeable.

You absolutely can use fractional CSS pixels.
