Proof? That's a bit strong.

I'm somewhat torn on this issue. Having grown up using english units,
I have a (small) soft spot for them. On the other hand, SI units are
more logical and reduce the chance for errors. Also, being a volunteer
group, it is difficult to impose a rule such as 'thou shalt use SI'.

If anyone cares about the opinion of a non-coder (on this project) a
reasonable solution to the issue of units could be that a piece of
code must provide an SI interface. This way parts of the project, such
as jsb, can use whatever units they want internally as long as they
provide an SI interface. They are, of course, free to provide other
interfaces if they choose.
