Hi Tom, > I wonder if it would make sense to be able to declare certain groups > of units as equivalent (like "ml" and "mL"), and also a way to declare > the languages of those units that may be locale-specific. Can you give me a scenario where it would be important to know that milliliter, ml, and ML are all equivalent? I think that one way to achieve this would be to create a milliliter simpleType, which enumerates the different forms. Then, the volume simpleType would be a union of the milliliter simpleType plus all the other values. At the moment, however, I am happy just to have a simple list. As for your second comment, I do locale-specific qualification to a limited extent. For example, gallon (US) versus gallon (UK). Thanks for the comments! /Roger
