I see the group is discussing referencing CSS Values and Units instead
of specifying <length> in SVG

Other useful alternatives occur to me.  I don't know if this has been discussed.

Could it be possible to have one length (or other) value tied to
another in the following fashion?

<rect id="rect_1" width="6" height="6"/>
<rect id="rect_2" width="url(#rect_1):width" height="12"/>

There are many ways this could be encoded, the objective, to tie the
value of one attribute to the value of another using a declarative
method in a fashion similar to <use>, but at the attribute level.
