Adhering to the SVG standard at the DOM (SP tree) level looks logical to me. We can then implement a different mechanism for specifying the coordinate system to be shown in the UI, but at the DOM level everything should be in SVG coordinates.

Well, close.
I'd say that you're right about keeping the DOM level clean. And then for the document/desktop split we just need a *clean* definition and separation.
That is, we need to make it easy to work with multiple views ("desktops") on a single document with everything consistent. Allowing for rotation is a view-specific twist that I think can help with considering where and how to separate coords.
