As I've discussed on the [SVGwg issue](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/177), I am not convinced that a new unit is the best way to address this issue: - I would like to eventually extend the stroke dashing properties to allow dashing patterns relative to path segment or sub-path length. - The switch to segment or sub-path dash patterns would affect more than just the resolution of lengths (dashing would be calculated for each section of the path separately), so adding more units would not cover those use cases. Plus, a whole suite of SVG-specific units clutters up CSS Values. - There are very few properties where you would be able to use these units, other than `stroke-dasharray`, `stroke-dashoffset`. You certainly couldn't use them in SVG geometry properties, which change the path length. Motion path offset could use them, but motion path already defines percentages relative to path length. The proposed SVG marker-pattern property, which uses a dasharray-like syntax would use them. But again, we could just define percentages to be useful from the start. And there would still be a use case for lengths relative to segment or sub-path. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/221#issuecomment-228405312 using your GitHub account
