I feel torn here because the units are actually up to the user, whereas they must be compatible with the canonical units. Those are connected to the `standard_name` used and in order to reduce redundancy I wouldn't call it up here. I think they were mentioned before because the paragraph was essentially overwriting the standard names table's values in this special case. Optimally, from 1.9 I'd like to completely remove the use of the old units rather than simply deprecating it but that's probably a bridge too far. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
