I think the hardware is already capable of this, it is very precise. The software on the other hand is not yet doing the calibration to make the printer accurate.
I think what will happen is one day (within the next year or so ) you will get a software update and suddenly your peachy printer will do accurate prints.
To be a bit technical about it, we currently use 3d matrix math for calibration but we only collect 8 points, and we dont account for a laser beam that isnt plumb when shining at (0,0,0).
When we let the user collect N points and calculate the angle the printer is at, then we will see a huge leap in accuracy, to go along with our already impressive precision.
Accuracy and percison are very different things, in the diagram below the peachy printer is currently behaving like fig C , by improving our calibration software we can account for all the uniquely warped outputs of each and every peachy printer, and get the peachy to behave like fig A
Pull requests are extra welcome in this aria, and Im sure there is a mathematician + programer combination that will enjoy solving this problem further.
Big Thanks to Ben and James who got the matrix stuff to where it is now
