It doesn't really matter which interpretation you choose. Whatever
value is placed in $UploadMaxSize willl be the maximum number
of bytes allowed for an upload. So, if you set $UploadMaxSize
to 1000000, then the maximum upload size is a million bytes, period.
Whether someone chooses to call that a "megabyte" is irrelevant.
Personally, I've never thought that listing the unit conversions
is all that useful in the documentation pages. Certainly I would
never expect to be able to have gigabyte or terrabyte uploads --
IIRC, PHP's upload feature can't support it.
Better in each case would probably be to provide examples than
to try to quote conversion factors:
$UploadDirQuota = 102400; # limit uploads to 100K
$UploadDirQuota = 1048576; # limit uploads to 1 MB
$UploadDirQuota = 10485760; # limit uploads to 10 MB
