Plus all the different spelling for unit measurements.
And a huge list to implement in a parser. The implementation work
would be very difficult to sustain
http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/units.html
There are also things like
grain/gallon (US)
grain/gallon (UK)
For length
nautical mile (UK)
nautical mile (international)
mile
mile (based on US survey foot)
mile (Roman)
As Lavoisier said
"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, all is transformed"
in this context, the cost of implementing is either
- on authoring practices by developing a bnode
- or implementing a parser which can handle all kind of values
