The concept of using a viewBox that makes user units equivalent to inches or other large units is severely broken, because currently we use only 6 digits of precision for all coordinates. That was sufficient for pixels, but is definitely not sufficient for a lossless conversion between pixels and inches.
Assuming 90dpi, you're saying that 4 digits of precision in terms of pixels is not enough in an inch-document-unit document? Can you provide an example of where it goes wrong?
The concept of having the SVG numbers (i.e. user units) equivalent to the default unit chosen makes perfect sense to me. At least it is now possible to work precisely in, say, millimeters or inches. Right?
