If different temperature units are used, yes. Like Karl I'm not aware
of color temperature expressed in non-Kelvin units. Even then, I'm not
sure this one exception would necessarily justify the inconvenience of 
specifying units on all zeroes from a usability standpoint. Why you 
need a unit on 0 temperature is naturally understandable. Why you need
it on everything else is less so; and not only have we set a precedent
with lengths but this is - and will likely remain - the most used type
in CSS.
