It's nice that they are doing that, but I'm fighting with my company over
internal news items that use "kph".  When I ask them why they are doing
that, they say the "AP Stylebook says it's OK."

All measurements in this report are dual units.

Except for the kph in place of km/h, it is mostly correct and sensibly
rounded.  Has AP turned over a new leaf, or is this some scheme to sell
articles to non-US media too?
