All,
Those who did, thanks a lot for your votes.
I created the new module:
https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-systems/tree/master/iso80k
Units are still taking shape, but many important ones should be there
already.
The class has the full name "ISO80000".
Looking at other classes in the JDK and elsewhere, JCE for example contains
one called "ISO10126Padding".
(after an ISO standard later withdrawn, sometimes Java therefore keeps
standards withdrawn elsewhere rather than the other way round;-D)
I am not sure, if we should change cases to CamelCase for classes with more
than 2 characters?
(hence "SI" or "US" would look ridiculous and sound more like Spanish if
change to "Si";-)
A place where Oracle requested such a change was e.g. "Iso*" classes found
in JSR 310. The same in JodaTime still were "ISO*".
We could discuss such naming patterns in the near future, if CamelCase was
preferred, it would also turn "UCUM" into "Ucum".
Regards,
Werner
