Hi Paul, I'm not part of the SVG-WG but here goes (response inline)... > During the discussion of "unit" behavior, I noticed the following: > >> ... and there are things that don't have units >> ... the idea of SVG is it's scalable > > Scalable, yes -- but there are cases in which we would like certain elements to be non-scaling -- for instance stroke width and font metrics may want to have non-scaling parameters in the engineering domain. That is, to allow the endpoints of a stroke to expand and contract, but always maintain a particular pixel stroke-width. I may be overlooking this but, AFAIK, the non-scaling-stroke vector-effect [1] (introduced in SVG Tiny 1.2) was specifically designed for this. :-) Please reply with more details if your use-case can't be addressed by this neat (yet not widely implemented) way to achieve fixed stroke width. ;-) > Thanks for listening, > ~ Paul Hope this helps, Helder [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/painting.html#VectorEffectProperty
