When using vw/vh em are always going to be doubled ? What about pixels ?
For example; 2em is equal to 4vw. Also
If the default font size is 16 pixels and if |2vw| is 2% of the
viewport’s width ?

I haven’t used these new units, but according to
https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#lengths 'vw’ is "1% of viewport’s
width and ’vh’ is "1% of viewport’s height”. As ’ems’ are not related
to the viewport ”size" at all, then I’d say you can never say what you
suggest with any useful certainty, unless you somehow set the basic
font size in relation to the viewport size.
Once you’ve set the basic font size for a page, you can use ems or any
other relative size unit to change the size for a contained element.
That’s if you’ve reset the element specific relative sizes provided by
the browser itself somehow. Typically sizes are inherited, but HTML
elements also have specific relative sizes in most browsers.

Speaking of which, can someone once again clarify, for example; 2.2em
would equal 4.4vw ?

Sorry, that's just the typical way I hear of these types of things.
Newsletters or this list mainly.

Thank you Tom. I suppose what I had in mind was a W3C-hosted list, but
if there is no such thing then pointers to derivative lists such as
these would be a good fallback.

I subscribe to newsletters such as Frontend Focus, Alistapart (digest),
Versioning (less focused, but good), Responsive Design Weekly, CSS-tricks
and a couple others I can't think of right now. If I dig them up I will
reply again.

It is only in the last few days that I have learned of the existence of vh
and vw units. I can already see just what an advance they represent, and I
am very sorry that I did not learn of their existence earlier. To which
list should I subscribe if I wish to be regularly and reliably informed of
changes to the CSS specification(s) ?
