[...] Otherwise the only important thing is that Inkscape can work precisely in any given measurement system and that one
inch is always
90 pixels so that relative size keeps the same. That's good enough for everything, mapping that to an
output device
is a whole different story...
The problem is that apparently, it says nowhere that 1 in = 90 px always.
No, that is up to dynamic display systems and/or users to decide.
Of course, but right now the user does not have the option of choosing the exact dimensions the SVG author intended. What I meant with "1 in = 90 px always" is not how the image should be shown but how the image should be interpreted.
And to control such, that is where the viewBox attribute comes in.
So <svg width="2in" height="2in" viewBox="0 0 180 180"> would relate lengths in inches to px for the whole document right? Perhaps we can do that then, and use the page's size for the width, height and viewbox. (using Inkscape's choice of 1 in = 90 px)
