Although many americans enjoy F for their daily lives (and I like the finer 
gradation in temperature in the “comfortable human zone (~50-100) “ - Americans 
are used to seeing and using C in scientific settings and international 
projects - so as long as the tag has proper documentation (and a proper label 
for the search term in  the renderers), then there should be no confusion in 
using Celsius. 

Even university libraries are switching to A4 paper to deal with international 
of documents (rather than relying on letter or legal).
