I've started work on making MathCAT handle ":units" and wonder how many of the "accepted" units (and others?) should or should not take SI prefixes (kilo, penta, ...). The units that we came up with are listed in issue #475 <https://github.com/w3c/mathml/issues/475>. For example, does "kh" for "kilo-hour" make any sense? "kt" for "kilo-tonne"? "kl" for "kilo-liter" does make sense though ("liter", or for the British "litre", is not a base unit, it is an accepted unit). Make sure to look at the "other" category at the bottom. Some of them such as bytes and calories take a prefix. Thanks for any guidance you can provide. For posterity, adding your thoughts to the issue would be best, but feel free to reply to this email if that is much easier for you. Neil
