<length> in XSL-FO is as defined by CSS 2. A unit designator is required unless the value is 0. The available unit designators are:
- em - ex - in - cm - mm - pt - pc - px The unit 'pt' is an absolute measurement equal to 1/72 inch. FOP non-conformantly permits unit-less lengths not equal to zero, in which case it is interpreted as 'px', which is device/implementation dependent. If you want a precise, absolute measurement, use 'pt', 'mm', or another absolute unit.
