    "Relative sizing doesnt really cater for sites such as ours (online magazine) that want to have a print-magazine-like layout"

    I disagree. http://www.wired.com/ is a good example of an online magazine. That uses relative sizing and works very well. You don't need it to look like a print magazine because it isn't printed.

    Imagine if magazines were made to look like websites. You'd never be able to use the content page coz when you pressed the item you were interested in nothing would happen. ;-)

    My point is you design for the medium so relative sizing is a viable option for all. Not suggesting it is the be all and end all either.
