I have updated and published the symbol file format[1] for comment. Hopefully there isn't too much to change. The only thing to really finalize is the internal units. The initial concept was unitless but the more I think about it and discuss with other developers, it makes more sense to use units for the following reasons:
1. It's easier to visualize in your head how the symbols on a given page size will layout. 2. Converting from other file formats (Eagle, Altium, etc) will be easier since most if not all of them have a defined unit. I'm thinking 10u (or possibly 100u) will make a good internal units value. Once we nail down the units, I will update the file format document accordingly. Please keep in mind that this is the symbol library file format document so things like constraints belong in the schematic file format. I will be posting the schematic file format as soon as I finish updating it.
