This contradicts in many cases our current page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units * The use of "meters" is discouraged * "cm" should not be used generally, maybe only on some specific tags * There should always be a space in front of the unit * Neither "feet" nor "inches" should be used, use <feet>'<inch>" instead * It is not discouraged to not include the default unit
