daniel added a comment. I think the following assertions made in the description need discussion:
> The fact that units are URIs will never change. The fact that URIs start with > http:// or https:// will most probably never change. This is true for wikibase, but Quantity and QuantityParser are not defined by wikibase - they are part of the datavalues/number component. Do we want to limit units to URIs for all users of the component? Changing QuantityParser to //also// accept URLs as units in the input isn't that problematic, though I find it a bit strange. There is no need for the syntax accepted by the default parser to cover every valid Quantity. > Asking if we, as a team, want to allow users to work with concept URIs is > like asking if a browser vendor wants to allow users to copy-paste URLs into > the address bar. I think asking whether we want to support/encourage input of the form `"123 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q828224"`. Overall, accepting additional forms of input isn't a problem, as long as it doesn't introduce ambiguities. But I think it's worth to at least talk about. If we make this part of our public interface, it's one (small) bit more to maintain compatibility with.
