Could I ask that you review the discussion here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20121104003312.162fa089.ian_bruce%40fastmail.net&forum_name=inkscape-devel

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20121106132408.49f0ff19.ian_bruce%40fastmail.net&forum_name=inkscape-devel

— as that seems to be directly related to what you’re proposing
(note the PNG attachment to the first message).

I will also post this message to the mailing list,
as that is probably a better forum for discussing the issue.

I agree. I plan on adding a feature to set the pixel to distance ratio.

What would be interesting to most people is to be able to set the number of pixels per mm for instance. When using Inkscape now I end up with horrible decimals and basically using mm is impossible when you want to use this content for screen (web editing). Having 90px per Inch being a fixed number is really a killer considering that people use a wide variety of px/inch/cm resolutions worldwide. It really should be device independent.
