Personally I don't have any problem with 8000000 kB == 8 GB or 104857600 KiB == 100 GiB, but it's not as if having nice round power-of-two numbers really matters in *this* case, where 1075000000 KiB is close enough to 1 TiB. But I guess not everyone is as comfortable with mental arithmetic.

Should fractions be allowed? If so, how should they be rounded? When should values be displayed as MiB or GiB or TiB? With fractions, or rounded? Should octal or hexadecimal be allowed (since they're easier to express powers of two)? -Martin
