David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-4252:
---------------------------------------
If we made any change based on this it would probably need to include 2 sets of
data measure units, one for the decimal multipliers and one for the binary
multipliers.
However, I'm not sure we should change it. Are you saying you have a need for
both, or just hoping for some disambiguation?
As for the IEC 60027 standard: it isn't commonly used and seems largely
rejected... IMO it's because they chose the funny names for the less commonly
used approach of decimal multipliers, and the prefixes they chose sound funny
in general (kibi-, mebi-, etc).
IMO, unless we had sets with both multipliers and a link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix, this change would be MORE confusing
and not less.

> Units from DATA_MEASURE section use multipliers for binary prefixes, but
> symbols for decimal prefixes. Symbols for binary prefixes are defined in IEC
> 60027 standard and are: Ki, Mi, Gi, etc.
