It seems to me that the cleanest way to look at the _point_ is as simply a unit of length, satisfying, in its modern "desktop publishing point" incarnation, 1 pt = 0.3528 mm = 0.01389 inches. From that perspective, any unit is as good as any other, and I would personally use the millimetre. Using anything other than the point might even be preferable, if it removes some uncertainty about how it should be interpreted.
