Am I the only one thinking about <abbr title="millimetres">mm</abbr>
as overkill?
 

Overkill? Maybe the first occurrence. By the time you get to the third 
you're already into the realm of obsessive-compulsive.

But I am from the metric world...
 

Doesn't matter. Metric has been in wide enough use in the US for long 
enough that if someone has crawled out from underneath their rock for 
long enough to use a computer, they'll understand what a dimension of 
"mm" means.
