I have a list of units I would like to ensure are supported at a minimum here
to ensure a safe conversion from WKT to the CF convention (note: only the ones
with the type `length`). See:
As Klaus points out, the units need to come from the Udunits list, so the
correct units attribute would be `US_survey_foot`.
When I use the Udunits2 linux command line tool, it gives a conversion factor
of 0.304801, which is significantly less precise. The XML database that comes
with the
Units have to come from udunits (see [CF-1.8,
3.1](http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.8/cf-conventions.html#units)),
which will also provide the conversion factors. In this sense, this proposal
seems unnecessary.

Currently, in the WKT form, you can specify the conversion factor to meters
along with the name of the units
