Yes, and also that they are less likely to invent something new, 
but will be told to just making existing practice formal.

Some discussions are worth looking at though. Like this 
discussion of pixel coordinates:

Personally, I think that allowing multiple graphics contexts to 
the same surface is the better approach, so that you can scale it 
to either be in the range ([0,1],[0,1]), ([-1,1],[-1,1]), 
([0,width],[0,height]), etc

e.g.:

g = surface.getContext().resetScaleNormalizedCenter(); // 
normalized to [-1,1]
gwh = surface.getContext().resetScaleWidthHeight(); // vertices 
in pixel coordinates
gretina = gwh.clone().scale(2,2); // vertices in points 
coordinates

g.plot(-1,-1); //upper left corner
gwh.plot(0,0); //upper left corner
etc.
