I don't have specific text to propose, but three thoughts for your consideration: *I am not expert in legalese. With respect to units and prefixes, where you say "multiples" is it necessary to say "multiples and submultiples" to include prefixes less than one? *Do we need to allow "l" for liter? Should we just allow the preferred "L"? *In the FPLA, it is left to FTC rules (500.24). In the UPLR (6.5.1), it is explicitly stated. Only certain prefixes may be used with certain units to cover rule of 1000 and avoid excessive prefixes. For example in the US, only mL or L may be used, cL and dL may NOT be used. You can leave it to agency rules, but I think the sense of "these and no others" should be preserved.
