rename "points"

[Mouvedia]

1 point = 1 ⁄72 inches
Twelve points make up a pica, and six picas make an inch.

It should be renamed units (or simply HSS units) to avoid confusion with [points](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography%29) (which is an established unit).
So you would read width: 150; as 150 units wide.

Well, you are linking directly to a typographical unit. In Mac OS X, for example, the unit that is used is also called points, and it is also resolution independent, just what we want to have (see Apple's Resolution Independence Guidelines).

It was also widely used as a CSS unit for print stylesheets.

You can't name a length unit using the name of another established length unit which is used in the language we are trying to replace and known by the audience we are trying to target.

Well if you really want to keep "points" we could call it "HSS points" to distinguish it from real points…
So you would read width: 150; as width 150 HSS points.

It's even more obvious in a typographic context:

//currently reads as font size 12 points
font: @ { size:12; }
