Units of Measure

- What is it?
- CSS is used to render information to a device. These devices exist
in the real world and have dimensions and capabilities that are
measurable. So, CSS provides a way for document content to
explicitly specify how it will be mapped to a physical device. If
a property value contains an illegal unit measure, the entire style
rule should be ignored.
