Do you get imperial units both with and without the parenthetical
metric equivalents? If not, I think I'd be inclined to choose
some markup for the lengths and leave the rest to styling.
Perhaps appropriate to mention the markup applied by an over-eager
graduate student asked to encode all numbers in a historical text:
...he was hang'd, drawn and <num value="0.25">quartered</num>.
You could go whole hog, I suppose:
<length magnitude="2.5" units="inches" system="imperial">2.5in</length>
but that seems like it might be overkill :-)
There is some other kind of inch?
