Round trip stability for rendered output is nice, but was never a design goal. 
In fact, it doesn't work for most things. 
If this is not about editing, saying it causes "data loss" is misleading. 
"Quantity rendering does not preserve precision" would be descriptive. But 
that'S not a bug, that's working as designed. Rounding is lossy per definition.

We could just drop rounding, but that would lead to //false precision// when 
applying unit conversion. So we could apply rounding only if we do conversion - 
but that would be even more confusing, don't you think? And of course, if we do 
conversion, round trips will never work.
