FYI. This might be of interest to anyone who felt sad when we removed the definition for the definitions for Units from version 0.9 (or so) of the JSDL.
I don't feel sad at all. What they're proposing looks crackers to me, with an end result of much software having to be written to just detect if anyone is doing anything odd in a particular situation. Our approach of fixing the units is much better. :-)
You won't get any argument from me on this. It has been bothering me however that the JSDL units for elements are recorded only in the spec so they are implicit in the JSDL documents. (Everybody reads the spec, right?) -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd
