I read section 7.10 of the SVG spec here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#Units It says: One px unit is defined to be equal to one user unit. Thus, a length of "5px" is the same as a length of "5". What's a poor hacker to think? ;-) (Section 7.10 also opens with this misleading statement: "All coordinates and lengths in SVG can be specified with or without a unit identifier." That's not true of coordinates in <path> data.) -- Sebastian Kuzminsky
