The point that I'm trying to make is that, in some context, the word "quantity" may also implicitly means "physical quantities". This is the case in the articles from Microsoft that you gave us.<br> <br> So that point that I'm trying to make is that it is a matter of how <b>we, the JSR-363</b> group, choose to define Quantity. The current spec clearly restrict the definition to quantitative measurement, which I think is a legitimate restriction provided that we provide a clear definition.<br> <br> Martin<br> <br> </body> </html>
