Graham, Thanks for the pointer..had a chuckle with the continued discussion 
2 years later. Pity the solution was never accepted/implemented, probably 
not a very important issue then, but I believe it will be in a few years to 
come if we still want 'beautiful' output.

A line must have a starting point, an ending point or length, and a 
thickness at least. Whether those attributes are expressed in pixels, 
inches, mm or whatnots - they are still a form of resolution.

If I want a horizontal line 10 inches long and 1/100th inch thick, I'm going 
to have problems displaying it on 96dpi screen if I want those dimensions 
respected. It's a problem of resolution.
