It is, however, critical for developers/designers to take the time to think about what they're trying to accomplish, to decide whether the size unit should depend on the font size or not, and to test on a wide range of screen sizes with a wide range of font magnification settings to make sure their decision really was the right one.

God have mercy on my soul. that's all I'm gonna say. Ok, no, it's not all I'm gonna say: for some VERY LIMITED aspects, in ePUB3, for special purposes, fine. But generally, for ePUB2, and everybody who is Un-Apple..no. Not normally. And not for scene-breaks, in my humble opinion, which is worth less than you are paying for it, right this second.
