On a somewhat related subject, could you comment on the current
significance (after your work) of the "units.txt" and "units.xml" files?
When I tested this earlier, these files contained duplicate information,
but it seemed that some unit definitions were compiled into the program,
and some were taken from "units.txt", whereas "units.xml" had no
influence whatsoever.

With the exception of SVG I/O code, Inkscape's sole source of unit information is now "units.xml"; "units.txt" has been removed along with all hard-coded unit definitions.
