Looks like welcome changes to me!

(although I believe dpi is really 'dots per inch' instead of dots per 
pixel)

  pixelToMillimeter value=0.3528/
  pagesettings
  !-- default page-height and page-width, in case

New:

  !-- Base URL for resolving relative URLs --
  base.//base
  !-- Internal resolution in dpi (dots per pixel), default: 72dpi --
  resolution72/resolution
  !-- default page-height and page-width, in case

I think no mortal prefers pixelToMillimeter over a resolution value in
dpi. The value can easily converted to pixelToMillimeter internally.

It is a matter of taste if one uses base url=.// or
base.//base. Either is OK with me, but I do not like seeing it
going backward and forward. Anyway, I suggest
base-url.//base-url.

Giving the resolution in dpi is much better.
