Surprisingly to many, this is not so. When a scientist's name reaches
the exalted state of being used as a unit, then when spelled out in
that usage it is no longer capitalized. This non-capitalization rule is
in itself an honor, designating the use of an international standard.
However, the name is still capitalized in the abbreviation.

You are right as usual. I actually did spell them out didn't I? <g>
