David, If you still do not understand why your "fix" was bad, then please stop working on this part of Inkscape.
Thanks, Johan

Can somebody please explain why it is important that the internal coordinates and lengths of the SVG file be at every location in some particular set of units? What specific problem(s) require this constraint?
As Tav indicated in his message in this thread, and as I pointed out earlier, the only number that has any meaning for a coordinate is the final value after all transforms are applied. Consequently the only way that all coordinates can be expressed in units is if only unitary transforms are allowed, and that is a needlessly restrictive condition for most drawings.
