Hi Folks,

I have created an XML Schema[1] containing simpleType definitions that
enumerate the units for:

   - temperature
   - length
   - weight
   - volume
   - area
   - cooking
   - speed

I plan on expanding this to include simpleType definitions for other
units:
  
   - luminance
   - time
   - mass
   - power
   - energy
     ...

[Note: if you would like to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.]

Ultimately, I would like to have a complete listing of units. (I am
tired of seeing schemas reinvent these unit measurements over and over.)
