Michael, you are totally correct.
Did you notice that the current usage (in MetBull but also in some
official scientific papers) is that one always writes "total known
weight" but also "main mass" ?
Is this now fully admitted or tolerated or ...just odd ?
I was puzzled with this years ago but soon admitted this practice so
that I even use it as such in my collection writeups ....at least
until "TKW" is one day officially corrected by "someone responsible
and concerned" to "TKM"....

Kilograms are a unit of mass, which is regardless of the force of
gravity. Although often spoken of as "weight", correctly it should be
referred to as "mass".
Michael in so. Cal.
