I'd have to agree that it all looks better in ML

Perhaps doing it how calc manages its units would be satisfactory? The
short of it being that `math-standard-units' and user-defined
`math-additional-units' are used to build `math-units-table'. Though,
for units there isn't a need to blacklist, and it sounds like a good
option to have for prettify-symbols.
