Gavin (and the mailing list), I would very strongly argue that the space between the number and the following units be UNBREAKABLE. Perhaps a thin space (preference), but most certainly non-breakable. Similarly around the times in scientific notation. I further cannot imagine that a line break be acceptable around a \cdot in composite units. This can possibly lead to overfill and underfill, something that I find *infinitely* more acceptable then breaking numbers and units. I do not know or use the \units command. Maybe it uses unbreakable spaces, maybe not. I would never use it unless it could be configured to only use nonbreakable spaces. Perhaps others feel differently?
