meter has some meaning attached to that the proposed <gauge> word does
not have. I would tend to favour this one.

I agree that meter will lead to a lot of confusion. I fear many questions or misunderstanding from people. Just because it has two possible meanings.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#meter0

possible words are:
* tools
  - gauge
  - indicator
  - scale
* semantics of content
  - magnitude
  - quantity
  - amount

another possibility is to use
the latine name: metrum
or the greek name: metron
or japanese: 『計器』 pronunciation: keiki (sure to not be used elsewhere)
