The abbreviation for picas is > "pi". Is it too late to consider changing this to "pc"? There are two good > reasons for this: "pi" is used by the SGML community, e.g. for the CALS table model. As one of the goals of the extended HTML table model is to simplify importing CALS tables, I see no good reason to be different, especially as this was negotiated with the IETF HTML working group last year. Changing it now would cause problems and delays to getting the table spec to RFC status.
