Points are a unit of measurement that have no place in CS other than in determining the size of text when it is printed. Don't use pts because they make no sense for the medium.
Graphic designers as a group have yet to shed the "limitations" of their education which is STILL grounded in the print world. It is why we still see so many websites that are just strips down the middle of a large screen rather than flowing to fit the screen.
Could you imagine if a similar design strategy was used for developing applications? Every app would have a fixed window and none would go full screen.
Maybe designers should stop doing mockups in a static format such as Photoshop and start doing their mocks in a browser.
Seriously, if you can't figure out how to work with dynamic content do us all a favor and go back to designing printed material.
