No, I don't only want to offer SI units, of course. :)
Why did you think that?
Your mail sounded a lot as if you were suggesting the px
was a unit that
should be avoided.
Are you saying that some users make drawings in mm and expect the SVG
to
internally store numbers in 1/96 inches? Personally I find this a "cryptic
specification users should never have to care about", not the opposite.
Anyway, if it's like this, the px template should fix everything. Do people
need an A4_in_px template?
It's cryptic, but it works. The default SVG user
unit is 1 px, so even
if I use broken software it will work, so it is a workable compromise
for me to use mm in UI but store px in the SVG. As users should never be
required to look *inside* the SVG they will not be affected by this at all.
