I feel that all measurements recorded in OSM should include units. And that measurements should be in local units.
A while back the Carter administration tried to force the metric system on the USA, which resulted in signs like: elevation 4000 feet 1219.20 meters Teaching people of course that the metric system is hard. Of course in a real metric environment you'd have signs at: 1000 meters 1500 meters 2000 meters or perhaps: 1000 feet 500 meters 2000 feet 1000 meters All that faded, including the signs, and its really clear in the USA it's feet for elevation and mph for speed limits.
