FWIW, it is easier, and more readily done, to type "nm" or "pm" than it
is to type "Å." The SI symbols "nm" and "pm" can be typed directly from
all keyboards.

Thanks for the correction, John.
Yet more evidence that they ought to stick with "meters" (and appropriate
prefixes) even if angstroms are non-SI units approved for use with the SI. Had they
written 0.05 nm or 50 pm, I would know what they had meant.
