RE: Proposal for unitless lengths (Was: Is the px unit equivalent to user units?)

Regarding 'font', it isn't supported in SVG Tiny 1.2. Regarding SVG Full
1.2, almost certainly the SVG WG would be willing to make adjustments to
work through any CDF compatibility issues, such as not allowing <number>
within the 'font-size' part of the 'font' property in all cases (i.e.,
XML attributes or stylesheets). For SVG developers, the 'font' shorthand
property isn't really all that useful and developers can always use the
individual font properties. (In fact, I am not sure the 'font' shortcut
property is all that useful for HTML+CSS either.)

Can't do that for "font", since it would make the parsing ambiguous
(numbers 
could be either font size or font weight).  Which means that the only
way to do 
it for font-size is to allow it in the font-size only when not being
used in the 
font shorthand...
