2002-09-25 Very interesting! If this new system does succeed, and the Americans don't f--- it up with trying to do it the inch way, it will have far greater effect on metrication then we can imagine. In order for one to get his/her size correct, one would have to know ones vital statistics in metric units. This could be exactly what is needed to end the continued dependence on inches and pounds for body measurement. Especially in English Speaking metric countries where old units still persist.
