I like having the unit type in the name because it makes the purpose
of the property more self-described.


However, I'm not opposed to removing the unit types from the new
property names as long the property names are NOT quota and quotaused
-- using quota and quotaused would break Apple's existing server and
client implementations. Existing Mac OS X clients use quota and
quotaused and expect the unit size to be 512-bytes and that's what the
Apple iDisk server returns for quota and quotaused.
