[jlreq] Quarter Millimeter

I’ve read several times that in Japanese typography it is or, at least, was quite common to employ a unit of 0.25 mm, i.e. a quarter millimeter, called ‘q’, (transcribed) キュ or (retranscribed) ‘kyu’, where Western typesetters would use one of the many ‘point’ units. It isn’t mentioned in JLREQ, however. 

Should it be included here and therefore possibly get considered for CSS Values and Units?

Disclaimer: I unsuccessfully proposed its inclusion in CSS several years ago.
