Yes, I don't think so either.

Also, the fact that most (if not all) of the new spacing properties use
relative values (staff spaces) means that we would need to convert the
absolute values, such as 4\mm, into their staff space equivalents.  I
don't think it would be worth writing a real conversion rule for this.
