Just to let you know, it would be easy to add "PSU" to the UDUNITS database. I know that many oceanographers would cringe at this, but if its definition was "1e-3", then the PSU "unit" would merely be a placeholder for that dimensionless number -- and an indicator that the Practical Salinity Scale (PSS) was used. Upendra, is this acceptable?
