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.
As of what version is this, or will this be, the case?
What did you think of the hierarchical unit definition format I suggested here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30063581
-- such that metric units are defined in relation to metres, and imperial units are defined in relation to yards, and the only relation defined between those systems is [1.0 yards = 0.9144 metres] ?
It may seem like a small thing, but when somebody wants to add new unit definitions, it would be very convenient if they could be specified in relation to the most appropriate existing unit, rather than "px" or something.
