Hans,
I made a small mistake in the phys-dim.mkxl file I sent you. I removed a % at
the end of lines 469 and 485. Without the %, using alternative=text causes
extra space before the unit. A corrected phys-dim.mkxl is attached.

I’m done playing. Below are tests and suggestions. Sorry it has taken so long
for me to put this together.

I attached two test files. The first,

Hi Gavin
Thank four your effort. I found out, that the following definition of a new
unit, i called it SI, results also in a correct spaceing in the math
environment:
\defineunit[SI][alternative=text]
It seems, that the option alternative=text solves the problem with no spaces

Further \unit question(s):
\unit{135℃} adds a space after the digits 135.
I do not believe that this is correct
(for ℃ is *not* a "real" unit, unlike \unit{408.15 K} which *is* a real
unit).
Also,
\unit{135°C} drops the "C". Is this a parsing bug?
Related,
\unit{90°} does not seem to introduce
