we are not talking about font-size here, we are talking about the use of
(available) space. if your point was to advocate for dynamic layouts
then this would be a different can of worms.
I was refering to the use of screen space with respect to your intended
audiance. If you are going to design for 800x600px then you will have to
deal with a limited amount of space in order to place your layout
objects. Limitation is always a good practice for a designer, because
you will have to respect certain design rules.
And in order to overcome the problem you mentioned, I suggest you use
only 'em'-units for the position and size of visual elements (and of
course use the various media-selectors in CSS for non-screen devices).
