I do not understand this message from Edit > Layout:

Warning: Do not use "px" in fixed Themes or "%" in liquid Themes or "em" in elastic Themes. It do not works!

It would seem logical to use the same units that the layout is measured in.

Do you have recommendations of what units to use for each layout type?

This unit is only for minimum and maximum width, see title: "Minimum/Maximum unit".

If you have an Elastic theme with width measued in em and you select max/min units as %, you get CSS that looks like this:

#sidebar-left {
width: 19.5em;
min-width: 18.3%;
max-width: 20.07%;

This passes validation, but it is hard to tell if the width is outside the max/min limit. IE doens't care, but FireFox goes crazy. I have an Elastic layout and chose to measure everything (width, max, min) all in em. It display fine in IE and FF.
