The table provided in the "/Supported quantities/" section of the
specification is missing the following types, compared to the current
Javadoc:
* Action
* AngularAcceleration
* AngularSpeed
* Dimensionless
* DynamicViscosity
* ElectricPermittivity
* Information
* InformationRate
* IonizingRadiation
* KinematicViscosity
* Luminance
* MagneticFieldStrenght
* MagneticPermeability
* MassFlowRate
* Torque
* VolumetricDensity
* VolumetricFlowRate
* WaveNumber
The following type is not present anymore (or was it renamed "Information"?)
* DataAmount
My question is: what is the criterion for deciding which quantity to put
in the javax.measure.quantity package? What prevent me from pushing for
a "Salinity" unit (a very fundamental unit in oceanography)? I mean, we
can not put all units used in the world, so we probably need to define a
criterion for inclusion. What is that criterion?
