Just to be clear, Alan, are you saying that, for example, each Inline 
should be rendered in the units it specifies?
For example, if I had a 0.01 scale in my main scene, and I had a 0.01 
scale in an imported (inline) scene, then both would apply? Units 
scaling cascades.
If so, I agree.
This may do away for the need to use external parent scaling 
transforms for inline and prototype elements that would otherwise need 
exteranl scaling transformations to fit the scene. The Units statement 
can be used instead. .
Any misunderstanding and thus misuse this notation is no worse than 
misunderstanding and misusing how current scaling transforms work. In 
most practice, we may find authors using both, depending upon the 
situation.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe
