I'm happy with this, too.
Also I think "block-size" is better than "block size" because the
two words "block size" sounds like "block's size" (2-dimensional).


BTW, the current draft says about the physical dimensions:
  "The physical dimensions are width and height, which correspond to 
  measurements along the x-axis (vertical dimension) and 
  y-axis (horizontal dimension), respectively."
Is this correct? (I think x-axis is horizontal dimension)
