Hi, 
glad to see uom as an attribute of symbilizers, this and the use of 
InlineFeature indeed opens the door for a richer capability of generating 
high quality maps.
Still there is a feature I consider key and is missing, which is the ability 
to specify the unit of measure of the map dimensions for the WIDTH and HEIGHT 
parameters of the GetMap request, as well as the DPI.
Now that we have WMS's like GeoServer capable of generating map documents in 
non raster formats (such as PDF, postcript), it would be very useful to be 
able of specifying the map dimensions, say, in millimeters and the DPI of 
600.
Combining this features one could use a WMS to produce high quality printable 
maps, so this is my plea to consider the inclusion of uom and dpi parameters 
in GetMap, or to point me to the equivalent functionality definition if I've 
just overlooked it.

Best regards,
