5.9.6 Absolute numerics
Posted by "Peter B. West" <pb...@powerup.com.au>.
Could someone with an abstruse turn of mind please explain 5.9.6 to me?
"An absolute numeric is an absolute length which is a pair consisting of
a Number and a UnitName raised to a power. When an absolute length is
written without a unit, the unit power is assumed to be zero. Hence, all
floating point numbers are a length with a power of zero."
Does this mean that a floating point number is equivalent to a <number>
of ones? How can it then be a length?
Peter

Speaking for myself I'd rate them as medium priority _right now_, because
our highest concern is doing enough refactoring to carry us successfully
through to FOP 1.0. When the refactoring is done - the archives will have
plenty of posts explaining what we mean by this - then I think fo:marker and
fo:retrieve-marker will move up quite a bit.
For sake of argument I'd say that given a release every month or so you
might see fo:marker for 0.19.
