This is an issue for the "full" SVG 1.2. [In fact, it might be easier to define SVG Mobile 1.2 without any reference to CSS because it seems the mention of CSS causes a lot of concern in implementers] Reading through SVG Mobile 1.2 quickly, I see some places where we should make it clearer that CSS does not apply (eg. we say the "font-size" property is shared between CSS 2.0 and SVG when, as you suggest, SVG allows unitless lengths). I'm not dismissing the issue in general, but I don't think it applies to SVG Mobile 1.2 itself. It's either a SVG Full 1.2 issue or a CDF issue. Dean
