usually the numbers returned are directly passed into the special that dvipdfmx uses for inclusion
* dvipdfmx: CTAN:dviware/dvipdfmx/README There is a section "6. DVI Specials" and "6.2. Additions to Dvipdfm's pdf: Special", but unhappily both sections are empty. Is there a better source of information?
I found by accident in spc_pdfm.c:
/* Grab page content as follows:
*
* Reference point = (x_user, y_user)
*
* Case 1. \special{pdf:bxobj @obj width WD height HT depth DP}
*
* Grab the box with the lower-left corner (x_user, y_user-DP)
* and the upper right corner (x_user+WD, y_user+HT).
*
* Case 2. \special{pdf:bxobj @obj bbox LLX LLY URX, URY}
*
* Grab the box with the lower-left corner (x_user+LLX, y_user+LLY)
* and the upper right corner (x_user+URX, y_user+URY).
*
* Note that scale, xscale, yscale, xoffset, yoffset options are ignored.
*/
Thus normalization is a good idea.
