Is the new module with the old syntax (10 \Meter etc.) or a new one.
first I'm redoing digits
with regards to the units themselves, we can do both: \Meter \Per \Second
and m/s) .. i'm still considering doing it at the node end .. typical dark

Will siunits module be used as a base for this or will this be
something completely new?
I don't know what you mean with siunits. Wolfgangs module? We have unit
support in context for along time (also as part of some mathml
extensions). So, we're more talking of an upgrade of the current module
(units and digits) and I will have a look at Wolfgangs code to see what
additional support is in there and we can merge things if needed.
The fundamentals of units are not going to change much, apart from the
fact that we can now parse m/s if needed instead of using the verbose
names).
Keep in mind that the units module runs on top of synonyms so that one
can ask for lists of used units and meanings of them.
Anyhow, Wolfgang and I will look into it when we have time (and energy)
so eventually something upgraded will show up.
