Well the main part of the SVG is whatever you want, I have seen pixels and mm used without measurement, the main width and height again can be pixels and also mm etc.
Where I use SVG I usually put it in a template call as follows
<svg:svg
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
version="1.1"
width="{$width}mm"
height="{$height}mm"
viewBox="0 0 612.28299
147.42"
which means the width and height is in mm but the viewbox is in pixels.

Subject: RE: Measuring
That's exactly what I was looking for on block placement, thanks. What
about SVG?
My SVG code looks like this (doesn't mention UOM).
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-width="236.25" content-height="auto"
scaling="non-uniform"><svg:svg preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet"
width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0,0,556,84"><svg:path d=" M 0.00 0.00 L
0.30 0.00 ...
Can I assume that is pt? I'm assuming page size is 792 x 612 (or 612 x 792
landscape).

Subject: Re: Measuring
<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.

How does Fop measure?
If I put a tag in my .fo for <fo:block-container position="absolute" left= .
Does it measure in pixels / points (are they the same thing?)?
Do I need to specifiy? left="10px" or just left="10"?
It appears to work the same with or without a unit of measure, assuming the
page measurement to be 72PPI, but I don't want to make an assumption and be
wrong later.
