But I have discovered that, with Windows set to 120 PPI, the 100%
dimensioned text is 'normally' 16 pixels in Gecko, but 20 pixels in
IE and Opera. Mostly not a problem, but it *may* cause floats to drop
if you use ems to dimension or pad blocks horizontally.

I agree with Gunlaug on this one, I figured it shouldn't be a problem if I
base everything on em-values and test a couple of notches in both
directions. Like 1em is 1em both on 72 PPI and 120 PPI.

keep in mind that not everyone browses web sites with an actual
browser as most of us think of browsers.  cell phone browsing, pda
browsing, and who-knows-what-else browsing won't go away either.

I think that makes an excellent point. We spend alot of time making sure it
will work on e.g. screenreaders, although I believe the cellphone browsing
audience is likely to be much larger. But to be honest, I wouldn't know how
to fit a busy 3-column layout into a 1" x 2" screen, no matter the number of
PPI... Are there any guidelines or sketched out ideas yet on this?

It's a custom built PHP application, nothing opensource, or even
purchasable. But just in case, I'll go for the opposite floats. Also because
I have more experience building pages with them.

Slightly OT, but I had a meeting with the client today, and he is actually
quite CSS-savvy, and wants it to be assessable for visually impaired etc.
That definitely made me happy :) He even asked for a high-contrast
stylesheet.
