Yep ... realize that. I guess /global/ should have been my 1st clue ...
eh? While we're on the subject, having mm_per_unit in globals just seems
counter-intuitive. I'm sure there's a technical reason for having it
there, or maybe when the feature was implemented it just wasn't
considered that there could be a case of having more than one sslt
object of different scale in a scene. Since scaling (generalized NOT
sslt) is either attached to a material, texture, pigment or object
wouldn't it make more sense to have it on a per object bases ie:

object {
  ....
  finish {
    subsurface { translucency color mm_per_unit float }
    }
  }
