It seems like manufactures and the public are getting very comfortable with small 
dimensions displayed in metric only. Obviously none of these are covered by any 
packaging laws. I wonder how many products would be lable in metric only if 
manufacturer were allowed to. Here are two recent examples:

In our local paper there was an article about the new child safety seat latch 
requirements. The diagram with the article referred to a 6 mm steel bar attachment 
point. 

My daughter has a Barbie Doll sticker maker thing that requires a small amount of a 
sand like substance. The refill package includes 5 sticker sheets and 6 grams of the 
material, again no English reference.
