No! Not only that changing case doesn't work for M (although there's nothing
like milli-byte) and isn't common, but K is Kelvin. If it was an accepted
standard, I'd be okay with Mi etc., but I don't see this. Using the same
prefixes for bit (b?) and B (Byte) with changed meaning works and is common
in technical use.
