I nominate Dave.  He already goes half-way with the agenda listing issues, 
and the minutes talking about resolutions.

WebCGMPicture.width
WebCGMPicture.height

I don't care.  But it's not necessary, strictly speaking.  And 
implementation is easier without.  Rule:  "If there is no suffix, then it 
is NVDC (mm).  % suffix means percent.  No other suffixes allowed."  (I 
seem to recall discussing this and deciding this, Munich or earlier.)

Okay, but ... it ain't me.  I have way too much to do already.

Frankly, I'm surprised that this became an issue.  It looked editorial -- 
table says one thing, and associated text says other thing(s) -- therefore 
I put it out as a proposed clarification, for just this reason (to verify 
editorial).

Dave, mark it as an issue please (and track resolutions, going backwards to 
CD publication, I'd suggest).
