Ryan, the viewBox attribute changes the meaning of coordinates without a length unit (pt, mm etc.). If no viewBox is specified the length unit is interpreted as pixels with the resolution in use by the user agent (user agent here = FOP with 72 dpi). Together with explicit length units on width and height attributes you create a well defined SVG image with an explicitely defined size. Otherwise, the SVG image does not have an explicit intrinsic size, only an implicit one which can vary between user agents (viewer software).
