I agree that meter will lead to a lot of confusion. I fear many
questions or misunderstanding from people. Just because it has two
possible meanings.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#meter0
possible words are:
* tools
- gauge
- indicator
- scale
* semantics of content
- magnitude
- quantity
- amount
another possibility is to use
the latine name: metrum
or the greek name: metron
or japanese: ???? pronunciation: keiki (sure to not be used
elsewhere)
