In issue 5930 alastair_paton gave a clear argument why this issue is rather a
dependant than a duplicate for 5930.

Back in 2004 two separate requirements were blurred together within this issue
and I believe that 
blurring has hindered engineering notation in gaining appropriate implementation
priority.

The two [blurred] issues are:

A. Engineering Notation, and

B. SI Prefixes.

A. ENGINEERING NOTATION

The requirement for engineering notation was well articulated on 17 Jun 02 by
the initiating post for 
this this issue [5930, "Engineering Notation"].

The only thing I would add is "Engineering notation is a version of scientific
notation" [Ref: Wikipedia 
article on Engineering Notation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation ] as this may help in 
the implementation of engineering notation.

B. SI PREFIXES

On 14 Jan 04 [24373, "Engineering and SI/MKSA notation support for Calc"] was
raised, and 9 hours 
later it was deemed to be a duplicate of [5930, "Engineering Notation"].

I disagree with this assessment as they are are not the same issue, nor a double
of the same issue.

[24373, "Engineering and SI/MKSA notation support for Calc"] does describe a
requirement, and that is 
for SI Prefix, viz, "An SI prefix is a name or associated symbol that precedes a
basic unit of measure" 
[Ref: Wikipedia article on SI Prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_prefix ].
