Path Coordinates

I am attempting to manually code some SVG paths and, as far as I can
tell, all coordinates that can be specified in the path cannot use unit
designators.  Do you see this as a shortcoming?

I am specifically trying to set up a page size (SVG viewport) that
mimics a 8" x 11.5" sheet of paper.  After that I want to draw paths
on the paper and have it rendered correctly both on a  monitor and on a
printer.
It seems that specifying path coordinates in pixel values defeats my
purpose,
because I do not know the resolution of the output device in advance.

What am I missing?
