Have a look at the STMML schema at 
http://www.xml-cml.org/dtdschema/index.html .  This was developed by 
Peter Murray-Rust who also developed the CML (Chemical markup 
language).  It covers units amongst other things.  I can send you 
examples files if this would be useful.  Let me know if you find other 
standards for doing the same, especially if they look more promising, we 
are also interested in this.
