I reported this problem on Oct. 27 to the gmane.comp.openoffice.questions
newsgroup with mixed responses. Some people agreed about the problem, others
worried about "code bloat", etc.

I also posted a message to the developers mailing list on Oct.27 with no
response as of Nov. 3.

I downloaded the OpenOffice.org Developers Guide 2.0 "DevelopersGuide.pdf" (1047
pages) and found that all variables such as margins, line spacing, tabs, etc.,
are described as having a resolution of [1/100 mm]. The word "inch" only appears
once in the document, referring to characters per inch.

So, in my opinion, OO is metric-centric, and none of the developers gave
anything but a last-minute reluctant (they had to be dragged kicking and
screaming) consideration to the use of Inches. I think this is a huge mistake on
their part, and I wish the developers responsible for this particular portion of
OO code would step up to the plate and make a statement about it.
