Hi Emilio,
almost correct, the unit conversion is implemented only in selected data
stores, e.g. posgis and oracle,
while all other stores are unable to deal with differences in units.
The same goes for distances in km with units in degrees, that works I
believe only with postgis when using
the geography data type.

It's been like that for the past 20 years... nobody steps up to do it. It's
too large of a task to perform in spare time,
and those that may sponsor are typically using postgis and oracle already.

Cheers
Andrea
