Martin, using the compareto method is really simple to make this.
About why create this method, is because we are in DSL age, to make our
code more expressive.
For example if you look new API how the JSR 310, it is not using
getInstance how the old API, but .now to create a instance in the exact
moment.
I believe is more expressive use:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
LocalTime time = LocalTime.now();
Talking about this JSR, it has comparative method, so the JSR 354 has too.

Why not just implement the int compareTo(Quantity<Q>) method that we

Werner, we need to sort out the Measurement - Quantity relationship first.
