I wonder if units should be considered part of a localsation profile?
Currently you can specify units in an archetype in two ways:
a) as the actual units you want to allow, e.g. units matches {"mm[Hg]"}, units
matches {"km", "mi"}
b) property matches {"pressure"}, property matches {"length"}
A nice alternative that Sam has thought of is:
c) property matches {FORCE/LENGTH^2} -- same as pressure
property matches {LENGTH/TIME}
We are currentl working on including this in ADL.
