That depends on the environment, as SVG 1.1 notes these numbers are examples for 90ppi. It's still not clear from your response when it might matter whether you specify 'y' or 'ypx' anywhere in SVG content (apart from DOM representations, etc). Per SVG 1.1 it should not ever. >(Note: I believe the Tiny 1.2 Last Call draft as it stands is confusing >in this area.
