Can I use pt and pc as measurement units

Can I specify page and spacing measurements in points
(pt) and pica (pc) ?

Googling around seems to indicate this is OK, but bad
things are happening if I use them.

So first off, is it legal to use pt and pc as
measurement units in FOP and/or XSL?

Thanks,  Mike

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I was getting either parser/FOP errors or very bizarre
layout depending how I used those units.  

I just tried it again and is working like a charm. The
only thing I can think of is I must have swapped my
picas and points and was thus specifying dimensions
that were way to small.

My bad, I appreciate the assistance.

Mike

Using pt works for me. What "bad things" happen to you?
