[jsr363-experts] Missing quantities in specification

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?
