My understanding is that the mm_per_unit is the world/scene scale

And to add to the confusion (on my part at least) meshes can have an 
internal scale and an external one. By internal scale I mean the scaling 
you can change in PoseRay before exporting and external is how you 
change it in PovRay.
In Blender when using the physics engine the scale should be 1.0. So to 
scale a mesh. You need to edit it and scale it there. Otherwise you get 
unexpected results.
So if the dragon is an ornament. I would scale it down in PoseRay. If it 
is a statue scale it up in PoseRay. Keep the mm_per_unit as the default.
Having said that. I have not used SSLT since its RC3. :-(
So what do I know?
