The standard measure on the reals is based on the observation that we expect the set of real numbers starting with 0.110... to have the same measure as those starting with 0.111... That would be a reasonable default assumption for most purposes. We get a rather similar measure induced on UD* by observing the first person probability for observing W or M (in the WM duplication scenario) is 0.5.
