I want to try out a postulate regarding modelling of datavalues, and more 
specific DV_QUANTITY.

The postulate is:

Postulate 1: A data type of DV_QUANTITY should be modelled with fewest possible 
units!

Reason behind this is to make queries and reasoning over the values easy. This 
makes it both faster and safer  building sustainable software and systems using 
these values.
I also think that converting between i.e. grams and kilos should be done in the 
client (user interface / integration engine/ etc.).

What do you think?
