Yes, so long as there are no other embedded <svg> elements creating a new
viewport coordinate system, you can use the above <image> element to
achieve an image that is really 8 pixels square, where a "px" has the same
meaning as it does in HTML/CSS.
To illustrate:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ..... >
<svg width="3in" height="3in"
fitBoxToViewport="0 0 100 100" allowZoomAndPan="true" >
<path d="M 0 0 L 10 80 L 80 80" style="fill:none; stroke: blue" />
<g transform="translate(10 80)">
<image href="example.png" x="-4px" y="-4px" width="8px" height="8px"/>
</g>
</svg>
The document above strokes a blue path that starts at (0,0), goes to
(10,80) and ends at (80,80) in user coordinates. It also draws a PNG image
defined in CSS units centered on top of (10,80). The image will always draw
centered on point (10,80) in user space and will always be 8px square, no
matter what kind of zooming the user does.
