The purpose of the lower precision in synctex end is simply to reduce the size of the auxiliary output file. If we use full resolution, then the size increases by 40%, which is - very- significant because I/O operations are involved. 8192 is the best choice for that purpose.
It would be interesting to have the full precision as an option. A macro package for two-pass page break optimization may want to use the synctex file also , and such a package would really need full precision to avoid rounding errors.
I am not in favour of adding complexity to synctex out of its original purpose. I can't see how .synctex would benefit a page breaker. Conversely, basing extension on the synctex file will add limitations to both the extension and synctex. can you elaborate?
