Make the naming of units consistent with common practices:
- Do not capitalize the first character of units ("Celsius" is
special, as it is not the unit name, but a reference to its
proposer),
- Do not use plural for units,
- Do not abbreviate "ampere",
- Concatenate prefixes and units (no spaces or hyphens),
- Separate units by spaces not hyphens,
- "milli" applies to "degree", not to "Celsius".

Standard Unit Suffixes for Property names
|
|
|
|
Properties which have a unit of measure are recommended to have a unit
|
|
suffix appended to the property name. The list below contains the
|
|
recommended suffixes. Other variations exist in bindings, but should not
|
|
be used in new bindings or added here. The inconsistency in the unit
|
|
prefixes is due to selecting the most commonly used variants.
|
|
|
|
It is also recommended to use the units listed here and not add additional
|
|
unit prefixes.
