yes I agree with this. We should do something about it.

This is where I think that not only it is stated that openEHR uses UCUM (and not some part or “inspiration” of it), but also implies that the case sensitive version of it is used (which in my view is important to know at least for some of the units). I still think it would be good to explicitly say that the case-sensitive version is used?

Just for the record, my point I wanted to make was that OpenEhr does not define use of the facilities of UCUM (like properties and conversions), as we see now in the discussion, which I think is very useful and making use of UCUM facilities possible.

Quoting myself from a reply this morning:

> If it would, not only use the stringified units of UCUM, but also would incorporate UCUM-defined functionality, it would also have, for example, conversion routines from UCUM, which are usable for software defined in the UCUM essence-file."
