I think the default (if width and/or height are specified but no other command-line options are given) should be as the SVG spec says in http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html
That is, the width/height given on the command-line override the value of the width/height attribute on the outermost <svg> element; whether scaling occurs is determined by whether or not that <svg> element has a viewBox attribute.
Following the standard tends to increase the predictability across different renderers.
Of course, there may be other command-line arguments that override what the document requests.
