I know you made some consideration of "fixed point" vs. "float point"
in your investigation. I suspect that decision is orthogonal to work
of plumbing more precise types through the engine... but I am still
curious to know if there was a decision if fixed point or float point
might be the eventual

We spent a lot of time thinking about this and I should have mentioned our
thoughts in the original email. My apologies.
We're not opposed to fixed-point, but given that the line box tree and SVG
both already use floating point, we felt like it made the most sense to
validate in our prototype that
