Hi:
Just reading at:

First about the candela and all it's problems, then what's a Time Nut
issue "Hz ".
// This means that, if you follow the rules of the SI,

I've tried to check this against up-to-date references, and the NIST SP
811-1985 isn't a valid reference, it is also a derivate work.
Today you can get the hard docs here:

I haven't had the brains to follow the rant, but I think the problem
doesn't exist any more. Current docs should make it coherent.
Cheers,
Magnus
