True I suppose, I work in imperial for some things (height/weight) but in an industry where international standard sizes for paper are metric, wouldn't it make more sense?
If you spec an A4 ad size (obviously 297x210mm) to a US agency they'll send you artwork set to 11"x8.5" (280x215mm). When using imperial for these kinds of things usually the accuracy is only to 1/8" (3mm) instead of 0.1mm when using the metric system.
