Just a quick comment: "mms" is not a good unit abbreviation because it
doesn't follow the rules <http://www.nist.gov/pml/pubs/sp811/sec06.cfm>.
And if you're not following the rules, then you have to allow that "mms"
could mean "millimillisecond".

Better alternatives would insert a "." or "*" between the individual
symbols. One could also use "m2" or "m^2" for "meter squared".

The best, unambiguous alternative would be to spell-out the unit as is done
in the parentheses.
