The use of the metric system by default is not motivated by the german
roots of OOo. The metric system is just the standard.
Whilst I was having a little joke at Dan's expense - and my dig was at the
French origins of the metric system, not the German usage of it - there is a
serious point to be made. If OOo is prepared to support the Imperial system of
measurements, then usable support would be a good thing. 1/100 mm is entirely
different to 1/100 inch and the correction of this deficiency would surely not
be a major coding exercise.
