It seems that the 'look of your website' will also be affected if you use anything other than the 'default' settings not just for [Units] [[Groups]] but also for [[StringFormats]], [[Labels]], [[TimeFormats]], [[Ordinates]], [[DegreeDays]], [[Trend]] and [Labels]. Case in hand being if your skin specifies something other than ' N/A' as the None [[StringFormat]] the [Defaults] stanza will override that and force the ' N/A' to be used. Simple enough to fix and perhaps not as widespread an impact as the changes to units.
