My two bits, for what it is worth...
I have never liked the \kilo\gram\meter\per\square\second
particularly as we now have utf8 input.
To be most readable, kg.m/s² is far superior.
(and to be digestable by non-TeX users, as yes,
I do often share my document source with collegues
who do not use TeX, and they even often edit
them using MS-Word, for example, as a text editor)
I should use some sort of units module,
as writing, as I do, 0{,}2\,nm$^2$ is pretty ugly!
