The way I see it is that the units declaration in the file says "I am in
kilometres" so everything presented in that file will be in that units
group. So anywhere that you have an Import statement or use of an
externproto, the interfaces will automatically be in that units rather
than in whatever they use internally. In doing so, the need to specify
how and what scaling occurs between the various files (or really
execution contexts if we want to be X3D-specific terminology) is
automatically and implicitly defined by the spec. Yes the browser has to
do some multiplies or divides between the two files as the proposed spec
words talk about, but there shouldn't be a need to call that out
directly in spec language. Though, I guess, given that we use Examples
all through the spec, showing something like that may be useful.

Programming is essentially a markup language surrounding
mathematical formulae and thus, should not be patentable.
