I exactly know your reason for putting it this way, but (and the same 
goes for modularity) it does not serve the common needs (read: a 
straightforward use without a heavy overhead stuff) of marking up the 
simple construction used just for a common unit. (I know you use the 
form of "sqm" and "mph" but we have solely "m^2" and "kmh^-1"). I'm not 
talking scientific stuff, weird formulas or equations. Speaking of which 
.. the numbers 0-9 should be available in Unicode in both subscript and 
superscript if I'm not mistaken, so it should cover this basic usage.

That's what I tried not to do. The reason? When I hear XHTML2 two things 
pop up in my mind ... W3C and IE, I don't quite know which one is more 
distant from the ideas of HTML and web at all. Honestly, it gets weary 
to think in the theoretical field over and over after some time. And you 
know what I mean, I'd like to see it in real ... once. Or see my kids 
working with it / using it at some point ;)

That was what I thought - the element serves its purpose ... at least to 
some extent; it's only stupidly called and treated ;)

(Take it with a grain of salt, as always.)
