It would be great if the unit was not some free-form text, but something adhering to a standard representation of SI units in ASCII or UTF-8. Maybe not mandatory, more as a recommendation. Peter
Actually not, I do not make use of the unit attribute. I don't know whether experimentalists have some standards to specify the unit (like length is always in "metres" times a power of 10). But some people may want to say that the unit of length is "\sigma", others prefer Ångstrøms or cm. I think a free string would be sufficient for the time being.
